Good article, IMO. Finally an article that explains the actual evolution of
these technologies, and reminds everyone that the VCR started the on demand
era, now more than 30 years ago.
My only disagreement is with the notion that storage is the only difference.
With the neutral Internet, the other new big piece of the puzzle is content
sources. It's one thing to store content from one single pipe, or even from a
handful of OTA sources only. It's a completely different game when the content
storage bins available to everyone are essentially unlimited.
