Soon there will be live wireless interactive Cable TV shows on one website. Not week old videos on HULU, but live as it is broadcast shows like Bones, Law and Order, Discovery and The History channel. Open up your laptop in the airport in Copenhagen and tune in to your favorite show as it is being broadcast. Any wireless device that has a screen will be able to receive the signal. Will it be free? No. Will it be revolutionay? Yes a resounding yes.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22604983 Wed, 24 Jun 2009 18:21:08 EDT Re: Is google that great? http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22459751 Kearnstd :

Google wants to make any sort of communication channel free to the consumer; as long as they have advertising rights to it.

Can you imagine getting commercials during a phone call?
No need to imagine. You do now when you call many companies and get put on hold (or wait to get connected to a "[dis]service rep" - ie: Before we will talk to you, you must listen to 10 minutes of commercials about our company first).
i think that is part advertising and part not wanting to be anally raped by ASCAP(i think that is the initals) for licensing fees to play real music.

course they could sidestep that by just having the call center use a local radio station as the hold music.

The future of the industry is already substantially determined -- all that remains to be seen is which companies are going to be the ones delivering video programming that way.

Oh wait. . .

You don't get commercials during a phone call because you pay for your phone service and typically other usage related charges. But I'd wager services that allowed free long distance calls in exchange for listening to a commercial would find use. Of course, you also pay for cable AND they run commercials. . .
