If these providers move more towards a full on demand service and whittle away their broadcast channels then they will feel the fit in revenue.
On demand is booming, it will continue to overtake the broadcast market but broadcast will probably be here for the very long term. As someone who is actively working on next generation technology that includes broadcast services, i can happily confirm that broadcast TV will certainly be around on the Virgin Media network for many years to come. |
