* * NYNMA'S 2000 EVENING PANEL SERIES: Entertainment Online: Are We Having Fun Yet? Since the start of the Internet media revolution, Internet entrepreneurs have been agog with the entertainment possibilities of the medium.  But, six years later, online entertainment remains a stepchild to e-commerce, business-to business auctions, and database marketing online. The latest refrain from Internet pundits is "Wait until consumer broadband arrives, then entertainment will really take off!" and indeed consumer access to broadband does change things; witness the havoc being wreaked on the recorded music industry by MP3 traders living on broadband enabled college campuses. On the business front, the siren call of broadband Internet entertainment made bedfellows of America Online and Time Warner.
