so that will enable us to eliminate is separate is settop box. so that means the consumer will save that money and, i think, have a much better experience, you know, including where do you put the settop box, and you have the big screen tv on the wall, and it's clunky, what have you. but as long as people have older tvs, we're going to have some settop devices. so it's going to take a long time, but that's directionally where it's going. >> host: time frame? >> guest: well, today if you have an ipad in your house on a cable system, you can watch tv on it, there's nothing attached to it. it's over wi-fi. so you can do it today, but i think realistically to be in a world where there are no settop boxes, that'll come only after everybody throws all their old stuff away. and that's probably over a five or ten-year period. some houses much sooner, but for everybody it's a long time. >> host: mr. britt, you also, you mentioned wi-fi. there's a new agreement among some of the larger cable companies such as time wearn. what is that agreement? time warner
