When I say of low-res Internet, I think of an Internet viewed through WebTV or
the cable services in the U.K. For instance, I think when you send a long
email to a low-res Internet user (someone using web-over-TV) then they would
be less likely to read all of it b/c it's harder to read text on low-res
displays. (There's also the furniture issue with web-over-TV, and CNN Headline
news can be a gauge for how much text to use for people sitting several feet
away on the couch.)

I also think that low-res-Internet users would avoid email lists like the
plague b/c an Inbox viewer would see fewer email headers at a single time and
would make it very difficult to process high volume lists.

On the web site, I think the low-res Internet will/does use less text, more
simple graphics, and more audio/video. No Flash or too-clever Javascript b/c
the web-over-tv client software isn't that smart.

Oh... and any web site that wants to be part of the low-res Internet has to
have a separate face, just like they have to have a separate face for the
mobile Internet.
