"What the author of the graph is trying to say is that syndicated broadcasting is being replaced by television-on-demand, or video-on-demand."
Good point. Though it seems he is not including video on demand on the TV services, but only on the Internet. Which makes it more relevant I think, since this is the old-style businesses losing customers to newer ones. TV ads revenues are not having a good time.
Of course it'll never happen 100% percent, if for no other reason then because some of the old businesses are smart enough to buy into the new ways of business. If they can.
Streaming gradually replacing TV ...
ReplyDeleteBut streaming is how TV works! The transmission format used in in today's digital television is called MPEG transport stream.
"TV" is the name of a medium. "Streaming" basically just means continuous flow of data (as opposed to storing or caching it, etc).
Saying that "streaming replaces TV" is a ludicrous notion. TV (analog or digital) has always been a streaming medium.

Well, it looks like computing on portable devices is out, as is streaming TV...
