And not one of these is available to me right now as I drive toward
the convention center here in Las Vegas.
You are completely missing the point.
Yes, when I have a a wired or even a WiFi connection to the Internet,
I can access all of these services. But they are all limited by the
bandwidth of the pipe I can use to connect.
What I am talking about is not a replacement for these services, but
rather, a way to augment the distribution of digital content to
devices when they cannot connect to a two-way IP connection.
AND, I am talking about a way to deliver content of interest to mass
audiences. without the need to flood the Internet with massive
numbers of duplicated streams - and yes, I know that IP Multicast can
be used for streaming of the same content to large audiences who are
willing to consume the bits in real-time.
Just think of this as using DTV broadcasts to push popular services
to the masses, either for real-time consumption OR to keep local
caches updated.
