How many times has this story been written since the 1950's? I'll give you a hint, it's about every 5 years or so, and I will boldly say it's not gonna happen this time either. Forget 3D but Broadcasting will die a quick death, though, thanks to Al Gore and his Internet invention. The cable co's have been double billing us for long enough and that revenue stream is coming to an end, hense the consolidation of cable co's and content providers most recently Comcast. They know it's coming. We do not need Internet AND cable TV. The cable co's are all switching to an on demand (IPTV) model, which is what the internet already provides. Which brings up another question. WHY can't I buy my programming from a provider that does a better job at providing content, eg Time Warner and their lack of NFL network vs Comcast? And why am I stuck with this total piece of crap Time warner DVR just because I live where I live? It's time to tear down this artificial wall built on 1970's technology.
