...allots space for a sizable conference area, a larger all-purpose room, a coffee bar, and a music practice room that should fit a four-piece band.But a mere ribbon-cutting ceremony will not guarantee that Hilles’ fourth floor will be used. The Quad Houses are already flush with gathering areas, and unlike heavily-trodden rooms such as the Currier Fishbowl, Hilles’ fourth floor is not likely to get casual foot traffic and therefore must become a destination in and of itself. It must be open 24 hours. We envision that it will be most successful...

Consider Zucker's example, The Office. Its ratings are poor, but its audience is rich. Its viewer incomes are among the highest of any network show. If its viewers are loyal, flush and tech-savvy enough that they'll pay not to miss episodes--or to watch them on their own schedule--the revenue could help keep such a marginal but critically praised show on the air. With new distribution channels, a production company could even try to sell a canceled cult show directly to the public. Nothing like this will happen immediately. It took DVD years to take...
