Wired News: Goodbye TV, Hello Broadband.
It was the ultimate challenge for any lifelong TV watcher. Wired News asked me to cut the coax cable snaking into my HD-ready television, and for 30 days rely solely on legally available internet content to satisfy the video entertainment needs of my family of five.
We posed the question: Is the internet finally ready to kill old-school television?
Given that Bill Gates and others are routinely pronouncing that TV is dead this is a reasonable experiment to do. And its instructive, the guy just ends up watching the same TV and movie content, paying more for it and having some annoying techie type problems along the way.
No-one in the real world would do something like that. Which is the point of course. Its one thing for something to be technically feasible, its a long way from there to friendly and compelling for the average consumer.
