One Less Cable Customer & The Future of TV
Everyone complains about the monopoly that Microsoft or Apple's iTunes has, but at least you have a choices.
What about the cable? What about the crapy UI?

Television is definitely heading online. Major League Baseball is already allowing fans subscribe to a service that allows them to watch all the games they want online and PBS allows viewers to view PBS shows right from PBS.org. This is exciting because it means that the technology is out there and it works. Also, all TV channels have web sites already so they are only one small step away from offering their shows through their sites. This could be a huge move for the channels themselves as they will be able to disintermediate the cable providers and work directly with the consumer. The consumer will also love this shift for two reasons:
1. It is an on demand platform minus the TiVo.
2. It will allow the consumer to pay for only what they use/want rather than paying for channels they never watch.
I AGREE!
