| HDTV - I direct
I would love to watch NHL, NFL, live events ect that I can direct. If it be live or on demand, I would love to watch the game the way I want to watch it. I choose what camera angel to see for the replay, live action ect. Now I know 20-30 live (or bottled) HDTV streams at my disposal is a tall order, but so was the super computers we have sitting in front of us 20 years ago.

Less restrictions placed on digital content sold to consumers. Better writing, and less use of wire services. I realized that a newspaper cannot have a reporter in every single city around the globe, but when the entire newspaper or website is AP/Reuters wire feeds with no local content, it is not worth reading.
I would also like to see a total switch to HD broadcasting. The cost of HD recording and broadcasting equipment has fallen dramatically over the past few years, and even become present in the consumer markets. There is no excuse not to go HD within 5 years now.

|  Self-directed Virtual Travel
Today the whole world is practically blanketed with web cams, many of them high resolution and web controlled. Instead of searching for them 1 by 1 and checking out the views serially, an application that could stream the views as part of a virtual tour using a massive GPS indexed database would allow shut-ins and the handicapped to travel the world day or night. Of course all the cams would have to be high bandwidth high def full streaming and not just the 1 picture every 30 secs type.

| Unfortunatly these are the big issues
Quoting hte article:
Assuming capacity, caps and deployment are not an issue:
the reality is..those are the issues and until we have the cap and the capacity problems solved it's not going to get better. At least not on that front..hoever iptv vidcasts like systm and others gladly make up for it..:)

| The future is also the past
A REAL archive of TV shows, past and present. Think the Amazon of TV. Episodes at .05 to .10 cents each, commercial free. No Ipod crap, and the google TV looks like crap too. I'm talking DivX high quality (1GB/hour) style shows. A REAL archive of Movies, past and present. .25-.50 cents. A REAL Archive of books, magazines, newspapers. The sum of all of mankinds knowledge, available for free, for all of mankind.
Guess what, mankind survived for 5,000 years without copyrights. It's a crime against humanity to lock away all those productions, all that knowledge to feed the greed. 7 year copyrights, then it's in the public domain. THAT's what will make the country great again, not 100 year+ copyrights.
This isn't communism. This isn't socialism. This is the advancement of mankind. This is free knowledge. This is the Great Library of Alexandria all over again. Sure, there's tons of crap with it, but there's also tons and tons of unknown gems.
It's time to rise up, and take over a small central american country (I'm thinking costa rica), and install the greatest database of knowledge ever created. We can always invite some canadians, so everyone will like us. Of course, the US would invade, but I'm sure we can find enough scientists to make our own, better weapons, and turn washington into a smoldering waste pile (well, more of a smoldering waste pile than it already is). Information wants to be free. |

| Content?
Unfortunately, you cannot ignore caps, capacity and deployment. We won't see innovation happen until those problems are solved. (Maybe we should look at the internet in South Korea and see what they are doing)
On the other hand, I believe that there will not be truly innovative broadband content. When innovation occurs we will move beyond content to interactive networking. |

| Virtual tours are a good thing
said by the article :(...) Shouldn't there be something more? (...) Virtual tours? (...) The motto of today's consumer is "instant gratification". And that includes instant information. Say, a couple are in the market to buy a home. They happen to drive by a house that's for sale, and they want to instantly know what the place looks like from the inside, without having to get out of the car, or to wait for their Realtor to make an appointment etc. Luckily, the listing agent has the URL of the virtual tour for that house plastered all over the for sale sign in the front yard, so all John and Suzy Homebuyer have to do is to whip out their trusty old iPaq and start surfing. Yep, we like it. Now where do we sign? |

| Content Being Impeded by Draconian IP system
IP as intellectual property, otherwise known as patents and copyrights.
Copyrights aren't required to be renewed (haven't since '76) so there are thousands of orphaned works with no/not enough commercial value to put online. Of course this determination is made by stodgy CEO types who view anything IP related as theirs and theirs alone. Fair use isn't in their vocabulary. Corporate Copyrights last for 95 years! Corporations come and go far faster than that, leaving no public record of who 'owns' the IP after the company's assets are sold off. Indeed, even the biggest corporations get locked down in litigation over IP and corporate dissolutions and mergers. See IBM vs SCO lawsuits. Darl McBride is an unwitting poster-child for drastic IP reform. Thats whats needed. Drastic reform of a completely broken system.

I don't get why we should have to pay twice for a product like cnn. If I pay for cnn TV, then why should I have to pay for web content as well? I'm not paying double for the same content. |

Re: The future is also the past
Oh yea, that's just what we need. Americans already watch way too much of that mind numbing crap called television. LOL. Television is such a vast wasteland and yet you propose shoving more of that crap down our throats via broadband? And you want it to be commercial free? The problem with that is that more often than not the commercials are more entertaining than the programs are.
I use my broadband connection to get away from television. I don't want it to turn into another incarnation of television, thank you very much. |

True, true, We can all sit around the campfire and sing 'The Internationale!' and 'Onward Red Guards, Proletarians!'. But the truth of the matter is that if we don't do something, we're going to be about as effective as the French in the future. Look at the lead story from newsweek..
»www.msnbc.msn.com/id/10756810/site/newsweek/
"The central government has long viewed intellectual property not as an individual right, but as something to benefit the state."
The bottom line is, as 'wrong' as it is, the rest of the world, REALLY DOESN'T CARE about our stupid IP laws. Unless we bottle up, build a great big wall, and stop idea's from entering or leaving our country, we're going to have to come up with a better plan. And that means smarter students, more scientist, and creation of jobs in America. And that means we need 100mb or 1GB connections to every house in the country. We need jobs where education counts. We need to create factories that make things better and cheaper than the Chinese. But, all of that is 'long term thinking', which cannot ever happen with the corporate greed which rules America. Hell, Verizon is having trouble convincing investors to look beyond the next 3 quarters as they roll out fiber.
So, to sum it up. It's time to pack up and leave America, and create a workers paradise. I, for one, will volunteer my skills as chief commissar the state, working to ensure the proletariat are well treated. We can create a paradise to rival that of Xanadu. |

| Why not terrestrial?
Handheld terrestrial TV tuners are so small now I can't see why they don't just add that to the phone instead of trying to cram subscription content over the ether.
If people won't watch "free" TV on their phones, why do they think they will pay for it?
If somone could cram a MPEG decoder into a phone for terrestrial DTV watching on your phone, then I would say they have something there. (With a jack for those Sony Glasstron like eyepiece displays)
As John Dvorak usually sez, porn drives new distribution methods. If people won't watch porn on their phones, then nothing will work. |

Hey, it's all about sharing video & audio. True on demand...being liberated from schedules - leaving commercials for other people to watch (yeah I know - who pays??). And I want more - lectures - true global programing - being free of the CRTC (Canadian Regulators). Watching obscure cinema that I used to read about/hear about, but could never find. |
