Subject: Kasparov-Kramnik Blitz match is Pay-Per-View on ICC

I read in rccc and confirmed it on ICC that Kasparov and Kramnik match (24
games/blitz)can only be seen on ICC on Pay-per-view for 16 checkels (16 US$).
The money goes to the prize fund. I have a few questions for the group.

1. Do you think these PPV events will encourage high profile GM to play more
games?

2. How much do you think they will earn in total via ICC at 16$ a pop?

3. If you think the price is too high, what do you think is a fairer price? (I
personally would not pay more than 5 bucks, but then again, i'm po' ;) )
