I agree, but that doesn’t change the fact that most people equate linear TV with scheduled TV channels. It’s just a quick, but not entirely accurate definition.

This should never have derailed the whole discussion about whether traditional TV channels would continue to exist. It was a deliberate diversion to steer the discussion away from what some people didn’t want to hear.

Richard is right on this one.
Take it up with the author of the article.

Once again, you’ve missed the point, which is that it is too expensive to continue to use two systems.

IP may be expensive, but that’s the direction that we’re headed in. You seem to be arguing that we should make it even more expensive by continuing to run two systems side by side.

I thought you were supposed to be an economist?
