Which is exactly why, Craig, no matter how many words you write, your points
don't end up being very credible. No one denies that systems need to be tweaked
on a regular basis. But even if you only allow for 5% of TV to be consumed with
TVE, all told, be that live or on demand, we have ALREADY reached a point where
IP delivery is about the same as MPEG-2 TS linear delivery from MVPDs.

This is what the source I found had claimed, and it's not at all far-fetched.

The fact that you don't look at true statistics is truly regrettable. Internet
distribution of TV is not merely "experimental," even if the new services
provided by previously walled-in content owners is.

I'm sure that Netflix would not consider use of IP delivery as just
"experimental" anymore, Craig.
