Internet and TV in 2006

There is no doubt about the shifts bringing major media through the internet. Here are three items that serve to document where we are today.

Mark Cuban analysis of TV on the internet

Live streaming TV from the BBC

Tom Coates (Yahoo) on TV distribution

And from Tom's brief followup to that post:

... "I'm not so much predicting that, "Internet TV will move from pay-per-episode to a pay-per-season, one-time subscription model" but that pay-per-season, one-time subscription is the best way to get down the programmes that you actually always want to watch, and that implementing the podcast-like functionality alongside individual downloads at a higher price is the best way to meet user needs and to make downloadable programming a real partner to traditional broadcast."
