Newspapers are a terrific example OB, because cinema and radio began competing with them a century ago, then TV, and then Internet, and it has only been in the last 5 years that they have come under serious pressure (and the major titles are actually still doing ok).

This does not sit well with your fanciful prediction of Internet delivery of tv content causing the abolition of broadcast delivery in 10 years (or even in 20 years).
