It’s easy to find opinion pieces, blogs, etc that aren’t credible sources.

I continue to dismiss the idea that the number of television channels reduces to zero, quickly, because it’s a ridiculous assertion. It’s down there with a human being achieving flight by flapping his or her arms.

Old Boy himself, on the V6 thread, broadly accepts broadband infrastructure off the Virgin network to be inadequate to support an entirely streaming situation.
