Headline: Cable and Satellite Providers Form Partnership
Nutshell: Your computer is now your television
Vision:There is already some indication of this on the net these days: I really believe that the computer and the television industry will move towards having all traditional cable and satellite programming feed through the internet as oppossed to the tradition routing systems of the cable and satellite providers. It will be subscription based but it will be a consolidated move that brings all aspects of home entertainment and information into one medium. And as the DVD has enhanced the movie you are watching, the internet television model will offer the same special viewing features in real time availability. We will eventually just pay one bill for all of our internet and television access and interact with it all on one screen in the den or living room!
