Dallas Mavericks and HDNet chief Mark Cuban continues his tirade against open Internet video today over at his blog, where he states that open Internet broadband video simply can't compare to traditional TV when it comes to live broadcasts:

"Want to deliver the SuperBowl or American Idol in HD in realtime to 10s of millions of simultaneous viewers ? Not in this lifetime without some breakthrough technology that hasnt been invented yet. (DO NOT SEND ME EMAILS SAYING YOU HAVE THIS. YOU DONT)"

His tirade of course largely ignores how broadband video downloads fundamentally change the way consumers view television in a myriad of other ways. Cuban, as we discussed earlier this week is kissing up to the cable industry's vision of video services in order to better sell his HDNet network.
