1 edit | I noticed the Xbox 360.
All it needs is a Blu Ray add-on. And it would be the ultimate. everything in one package. |

| Synopsis is wrong
quote:
broadband-connected video game consoles remain the dominant way users video Internet video...
First of "video Internet video" is wrong. Even if it said "view Internet video" it would still be wrong since the article is excluding viewing Internet video on a PC that's not connected to a TV
Change it to "view Internet video on TV" and then it will be correct.

Reston, VA | The game console is a basically a computer, and the TV is just a specialized (or perhaps not so specialized) monitor. It seems kind of gray to me.  |

| And this is why cable and telcos are moving quickly to cap
Plain and simple. That $2.9B was cable and telco money and they want it back rather that see even more of it go to competitors.
So their solution to steal back that $2.9B is to abuse their market position to employ unjustifiable caps that will price competing video services out of the market.

Sony will never, ever, license blu-ray to Microsoft.
Content providers need to find some way to keep it off the big screen (like Hulu is attempting to do with their desktop app). Too much ad revenue is lost when it's shown on peoples living room sets, plus it's killing ISP's who have to keep up with the demand. |

Re: I noticed the Xbox 360.
Blu Ray doesn't belong to Sony. They're only a part of the large group of companies that helped to develop it. If Microsoft wanted to they could easily employ a Blu-Ray drive into their current or next console. It's just that every Blu-Ray disc sold would provide Sony with royalties. |

"While Cable operators aren't really sweating online video yet, increased deployment of next-gen broadband speeds and simpler home networked media devices should change that in time."
I think it is now. We have heard the whining for the last few years from the Anti Net Neutrality people. Cable networks even with DOCIS 3.0 will have issues.
I see tremendous growth in the next 12 months. Much less than the article states.

Re: I noticed the Xbox 360.
killing ISP's? whatever... those 2.9B is leaving a empty space in their wallets so they are trying to hold onto as much as they can with caps. They can even afford to upgrade services now but they know that if they make the internet better people will turn away from there weak television line ups. |

Don't stand it up and choke the biggest area it has to take in cool air and netflix on the 360 coupled with the two disc package I have with them is perfect. |

| I've been able to get every show I used watch on tv now online for the past year now. I wouldn't say revolution just yet, I only switched from OTA to online video. IMO many broadband users will switch to internet only service when their favorite shows become available online.
But 10 years though? Nice. |

Two things:
1) They can take their ads and shove them up their **** for all I care. TV is much better without ads. Time to find alternative sources of revenue.
2) Killing ISPs? It's their own fault if their networks aren't fast enough to handle the demand when customers start to actually use what they paid for. Not like the big players don't have enough money to upgrade their networks anyways. So what if their CEOs can't take home the usua $20M or whatever. |
