Quick plug: I have a new article up at Tech Central Station in which I argue that reports of TV’s demise at the hands of the Internet are greatly exaggerated. A teaser: “The success of the iTunes Music Store and the iPod has not spelled the end for radio broadcasting or CDs, and the same is likely to be the case in the video market. Satellite radio, iPod and iTunes have shown, however, that consumers are hungry for new ways to access and consume media. The telephone companies’ efforts to roll out robust broadband networks in order to compete with cable, helps get everyone closer to a competitive market. Not only will these networks offer new services and increased broadband capacity, but the burgeoning competition will also spur cable companies to make upgrades of their own, as well as lower their prices.”
