Is Google throwing a smoke screen? Because I think that "TV" does have plenty to fear.
"Mayer said Google had failed to foresee the huge popularity of
user-generated content - its original model for online video emphasised
"premium content" which viewers would pay a small fee to access. The
success of YouTube over the past year - rapidly eclipsing Google Video
in popularity - took many by surprise."
My prediction is that in the future, ALL content will be delivered "On
Demand", via TCP/IP, by whatever types of wires, or wireless connection goes into your house. TVs
will be a computer monitor, and a freeview box or cable box, will be a super sky+ also known as a computer.
Whether the company that owns those wires will also be the
deliverer of the content, remains to be seen… I hope not.
