Someday soon I am sure there will be a large number of people that stream TV and Movies to their computers as their primary mechanism for watching television. It is inevitable. How this will fit into the triple-play model (will it compete with triple play providers?) and how companies will make money from streaming television is unclear.
Rumors abound that Google will be a company that streams TV over the internet and personally I see Yahoo! perfectly positioned for doing the same.
One thing is for sure… Streaming media will be huge and it is for this reason that you will find a new streaming media blog on TMCnet which will be written by industry veteran Russell Shaw.

August 12, 2005 at 12:27 pmIf you ask Mark Cuban, that someday will never come. He writes on his Maverick Blog that “Broadcast TV will never die”. I can see his point of view. Just like video phones will never fully replace voice-only phones, or Skype will never fully replace PSTN, the hype around IPTV is “irrationally exuberant”.
