Internet Channel: This channel dramatically changes the relationship between a user’s home, the television and the Internet. Users download the Opera browser with Wii Points. Then they can surf the Internet right from the comfort of their couch. They can do quick research while watching a television program (“What was that actor’s name again?”). Or book travel plans and shop during commercials. The service is compatible with Macromedia Flash.

I was basing the "buy the browser" thing on this statement from your "Official Word on Wii" report (also Update #9 of this article). If the browser is indeed free, that would be sweet, 'cause otherwise I probably won't get it. Since I plan on keeping the Wii in my bedroom, next to my PC, and running it through my TV-input (using the A/V cable), what would really be the point in me getting a browser on the Wii?
