Viewers should see the same commercials during television shows on the Web as they do on traditional TV, Time Warner Cable Chief Operating Officer Landel Hobbs said in an interview Wednesday.

And as more of the reverse Robin Hoods' ill-gotten gains from us migrate to The Web we can expect to see the same shows too, with any luck worse than ever.

Right now, online video advertising is fairly tepid. Asked about a potential backlash from consumers accustomed to fewer ads during online streams, Hobbs expressed little concern. "What we find is that people don't mind ads," he said, "but they say give me the convenience of watching when and where I want to."
