Beginning of the end and a new beginning....

finally an exec who may actually be earning his salary...

He's 200% right about the traditional broadcast model being obsolete. It will be at some point(hopefully soon) all about the pipes...

I also see that the data caps are going to be an issue too. Luckily I'm on 20/2 RCN right now and for all their other issues (P2P Bandwidth throttling and poor customer service/tech support) they haven't done bandwidth caps yet.

It also makes all this writers guild/strike crap a moot point. We've already seen the beginning of the breaking of the studio/writer/network stranglehold that has been the basis of the broadcast model.

How so? This is simply about how content is distributed; not how it's produced. To produce a drama or comedy, you still need writers, directors, producers, actors, technicians and studios...
