This article says that the days of the 500-channel universe are over. And also
that the days of the 150-channel universe are changing rapidly.

People are really steeped in legacy thinking. It's truly astounding, so many
years into the Internet era. The article would have us believe that we'll have
less choice of "channels," which is obviously absurd.

Need to get past the legacy thinking. Need to get past the idea that TV
"channels" people have access to, whatever that even means anymore, are under
the control of *a* service. The truth is that people have access to a whole lot
more than 500. The only thing that is "over" is having the menu of choices
dictated by one local service only.
