When are we going to see NBC move more heavily into interactive. CBS will likely build upon the GameSpot brand, perhaps moving into the free online game space, maybe they buy Miniclip within the next few years to enter the free games market.

We (abstract10.com) also feel like the next phase of the web will be about who controls the content more so than just large numbers of unique visitors. Content control is the way to monetize social networks. Hey CBS, do you need any urban content?! Great move by CBS to start acquiring web assets related to content.
