Since Reuters is the only news source we trust, we were shocked, shocked we tell you, to read this:

Within the industry, rival cable channels will catch up to their broadcast rivals, securing an estimated $22.3 billion in advertising dollars by 2009 compared with $22.5 billion for the networks. The Internet will be close behind at $17.2 billion.

We really wish we had known that the internet was doing so well a bit earlier. Curse you Reuters for withholding this precious data from us!
