With IP TV there may be no prime time, just perfect choice for 24 hours per
day. Just think of all those 4-800watt pc's in each kids bedroom + the
living room + the 200 watts for the TV. You get a discount for a laptop but
we could afford several rost frei Delorians.
At IBC Janet West told me at IBC that Microsoft is indirectly now the
biggest Carbon Producer on the Planet.

California is the most populated state in the Union, with
about 37 million residents or about 12 million households.
If one 200 watt TV is on in each household during prime
time, that's 2.4 gigawatts, or about twice as much as you
need to be propelled back to the future in a DeLorean.
