All the article says is that cable-only shows are just now beginning to stream online, as OTA shows have been doing for quite some time. How does this have any relation to the subjct of the FCC giving the congloms the same sort of control over OTA pipes as they get over MVPS pipes??? If anything, Craig, the opposite of what you think is the trend. This article is talking about MORE online distribution of cable shows, not less, which is a threat to the walled garden subscription model, not the FOTA model. Quoting: "The Webcasting trend is not pleasing the large cable operators. Indeed, when Glenn Britt, the chief executive of Time Warner Cable, was asked recently how he feels about the cable networks putting more content online, he said 'Guess what? We do mind.' "Webcasting a program the same day it is broadcast, 'will erode your other business model,' Mr. Britt said at the Cable Show in New Orleans earlier this month. If this happens, he said, 'we have to intervene at some point.' Seems pretty clear that these issues have been resolved for some time, when it comes to online streaming of OTA shows, eh?
