Right, maybe a "consensus" of one.
The congoms themselves have indicated that they are willing to use
multiple pipes to deliver their content, *and* to own none of them.
Which means, they are depending on telcos, cablecos, potentially on
ISPs, at the very least, to deliver their content.
If a broadcast station groupo offers the right price, I see no
logical, credible reason why they should refuse.
I don't know where your "consensus" comes from.
It comes from the statements of list participants among other things.
Not to mention a long list of writers, with stories that have been
posted here.
The following column was written by Ted Turner in 2004. I do not
agree with Ted on many subjects, but this analysis might give Bert a
clue about what has happened to Free TV...
