That's my reaction too.
I have little trouble seeing that eventually, soon now, FOTA broadcast TV could
be a thing of the past, replaced by FOTI TV, as well as paid Internet TV
services. And honestly, I see any trend to replace the current FOTA
infrastructure with a two-way cellular infrastructure as a way to accelerate
the switch-over.
Matter of fact, my wife is registered with Amazon in whatever category it is
that provides free shipping. Along with that, we can access all sorts of movies
online, at Amazon. So this sort of business model is a bit of a hybrid, and any
number similar ones, over the Internet, are possible. I continue to watch MOST
of my non-live TV on the congloms' own web sites these days, rather than using
Hulu.
Unless there's a lot of underhanded crooked deals/bribes going on, it seems
unlikely that FOTI TV, or TV + other bennies, will disappear. If Hulu bows out,
no one needs to care. That's the beauty of Internet carriage, actually. No one
needs to feel beholden to Apple, or Netflix, or any other walled garden, unless
they seriously lack imagination.
