Linear will just be part of the overall tv experience (and granted, maybe not the primary part) but I also think IP technology might allow it to go in some really interesting directions, especially for those businesses with a deep catalogue of content to exploit.

Yup - as I posted earlier today from an IBC article
Quote:
"A fully interactive IP BBC3 could be put at the centre of a project to define the role of a broadcast channel in a digital world. It should have its own separate and distinct presence in the on-demand world, tied to its core linear IP output but highly experimental in its approach to content and distribution. It could be the first brand to link TV and radio output in an online world.”
