| 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.

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. I think DirectTV (not any of the cable providers as far as I know) has a NFL package that allows you to see the game from different camera angles. A game is then simultaniously broadcasted on several channels from different angles. If you have a dual tuner receiver, you could place a smaller TV without sound on next to your regular TV and watch the same game from a different angle.
I know that NASCAR offers like 10 channels on races, so you can see from inside a number of cars, follow the race from different angles, etc, etc...
Choosing what camera angle to use when you watch replays, etc, is something that is probably not too far in the distant future, but I think control over which camera you want to see at what point in time is more likely to happen with cable then it is with satellite, just like Video on Demand, because I would think there is some communication required between customer and the tv provider.

| 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. | |

| Re: The future is also the past 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. | |

| 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. | |

It's not so much that it's endlessly repeating mind numbing crap, it's just mainly used to eat up time when one would be otherwise bored out of ones mind with nothing else to do.
And, there are a few jems in the muck, Like La Femme Nikita, Babylon 5, The Shield, etc. Sadly though, not enough. The rest is just AMC, TBS, TNT, Bravo, and the rest repeating the same movies, over and over, night after night, day after day. I mean, how many times can you repeat The Sands of Iwo Jima, or, Forrest Gump, or, the Matrix, Or, US Marshalls, or,....AHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!

If the government thinks minimum wage is enough to live on, why not use minimum wage to value time?

| 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. | |

I'm not paying double for the same content. For exactly the same reason you pay to see a movie in a theathre, then you pay to rent it from the video store, or pay for it again on pay per view.
The biggest difference is "on demand". You pay for a 24/7 live feed of CNN, and unless you have a DVR/Tivo which can usually rewind the last hour on the channel you have been watching, when a show or news item has passed the screen, you are either going to have to wait till the show it again, or find an alternative source.
I haven't tried CNN's new newsfeature, but I believe the paid version of their videostreams contain streams that you don't always see on television.
Example: You can probably see the live feed from the supreme court nominee hearings continuesly (of course you can THAT on c-span as well) whereas CNN will break away for commercials or to reflect on what was said earlier. On breaking news issues, you probably get to choose from a number of feeds. I remember that in the very first days of the war, I had three live feeds running on my PC (all free by the way) from both American and International TV stations that had an embedded reporter in a tank somewhere, racing across the desert and sometimes seeing live fights and all that. I would imagine that CNN's pipeline service has the option to select a few newsstreams of different camera setups so you can follow multiple stories at the same time, etc, etc.....
And its for that kind of service you pay for. You don't have to go online and get some of these feeds, eventually the most important ones will come by at CNN tv

| 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.

Sex is sex. What's to innovate? Most of the porno makers simply want to make it as cheap as they can and sell it for as much as they can. The only innovation might be if they actually had a plot or story line that made sense without the "actors" groping each other every 5 seconds and women who really aren't into what they are doing grunting "oh yeah, baby". Far as porn goes, you's think you'd get something for your $30 for a DVD or tape, wouldn't you?
