Traditional TV is going to have serious problems, coming from one direction - the Net.
First, people like me have pretty much given up watching TV in favour of messing around online.
Second, almost anything I might want to watch is online anyway, whether the TV companies like it or not.


Good point. I rarely switch the TV on now. The net is far more entertaining. On the odd occasions when the TV goes on it's like a real novely, almost like going to the cinema. Popcorn and everything.

Despite the theoretical limits on internet speeds the fact is they get faster and faster. We'll have streaming HDTV before long.
