Internet distribution of TV programming that he advocates.
You can say it all you want, but it ain't necessarily so...
FOTA will be the first to go - it is a simple question of
profitability And the ability to push consumers into a more
profitable distribution scheme.
Multi-channel packages will be the next to go.
You posted a story about the Pace D/A convertors. The best argument
that the cable systems have AGAINST ala carte is that the analog
infrastructure is DUMB. When they move to digital, it is trivial to
enable/disable individual channels. At some point either government
intervention, or consumer demand is going to make ala carte happen.
