Like I said before, Craig:
"'The ability to push consumers'?? What, like consumers must be
gellyfish? Bob explained to you that he was on the verge of de-tethering
himself. It is the congloms and MVPD companies that will have to adapt
to consumers, not vice versa."
Ultimately, you might be right. But it all depends on us, the consumers.
It all depends whether consumers march in lock step to whatever tune the
congloms and MVPDs play, or whether they push back.
You seem happy to acknowledge that consumers have convinced the congloms
to de-tether their content by making it available over the Internet, but
you seem unable to carry that idea beyond just the Internet.
