You could easily argue that cell phones have gotten progressively worse.
Until someone figures out how to reliably
broadcast even 640x480 video over the public Internet in real time, this will continue to be nothing but a toy. Opening up a separate high-quality (never mind HD) stream for every viewer is insanely wasteful. Ask the cable companies...they're trying to push program origination closer to the sub precisely because of this issue, and that is on a very small scale compared to an iTV-type operation.
Um, cell phones have definitely gotten better.
