Walled garden datacasting of 'internet data' to consumers using PC
receivers, no matter the size or manner of the content, in the age of
distributed p2p networking ala BitTorrent, is a dead business.
The only datacast delivery mechanisms worth anything are b2b walled
garden (digital signage, education, professional receiver delivery),
tie-in value-added content (ITV or data synchronized with programming
content), mobile content delivery, and device management (firmware,
etc.).
It is however interesting to see people continue to bring up failed
business models like delivering content I can download off a cable modem
or DSL line, or talk about the huge problems we face with large popular
file downloads when P2P distribution and file swarming has solved this.
