Well, OF COURSE they have a point, Craig. They want to retain their walled 
garden model, and obviously a FOTI scheme would devastate that model.

That's why FOTA should still be preserved. It is THE ONLY way that TV content 
can be had reliably, without becoming dependent on a walled garden. Like I 
said, FOTA TV and Internet content are both unwalled models, but TV over 
Internet is simply not so. Not yet. And as you see, not anytime real soon, 
either.
