Yes, Craig, and you should take the hint. Before making your proclamations,
check out the facts, and then prove that you have done so. It is because you
have habitually refused to do this that you are so consistently wrong!

By the way, even on whether some old FCC regulation mandated "linear/live"
streams at all. You should not need to be "confident that it did." Instead, you
need to spend some quality time finding out. Try this:

Certainly that second format doesn't sound like what you describe,
at all:

Maybe because the Flash ads that Amazon is dropping have NOTHING to
do with full page rich media advertising:

Prove it, Craig. Show me something from Amazon, or other sources, that
describes specifically what Flash ads are being dropped.

Or maybe it is because Adobe dropped support for Flash for mobile
in 2011, stating they would focus on tools to port Flash content to
HTML-5.

This is true, I checked, but it's not exactly relevant. We've been over this
many times already. Dropping a standard, de-facto or otherwise, years ahead of
when the new alternatives are deployed, will lead to disruption of service.

The idea that Flash was inherently power hungry was always bogus. Yet, Craig
pronounced it to be fact. When I got my first 2G cell phone, it still supported
the analog AMPS standard. Dropping AMPS like a hot potato would have resulted
in loss of coverage. My second phone, on the other hand, had dropped AMPS.
That's how these things are supposed to be done. Craig has never understood
this concept.

So what is your odd hidden agenda?

My "hidden agenda" is to be factual. You should try it, Craig.
