Tell me, what are we going to deliver? In the last 8 years no-one has been able to pick a business model for content that works. Its no coincidence that nearly every consumer service via data delivery has failed (admittedly some of the places have had more money than sense or the token clown to mess things up, but..). And the places that are doing b2b and have succeeded already have a satellite or internet-based network in place - no switching to DTV there (no need).
