The emphasis on Apple is totally misplaced, IMO. All this article says is, many
people watch TV as streaming media on their iPads. But there's absolutely no
reason to limit the trend to Apple and iPad.
ANY ISP can figure out an arrangement with the congloms, to stream conglom
content. Or any OOT service too, for that matter. Like I said before, virtually
100 percent of my "prime time" viewing these days is streaming over Verizon
ADSL. The Kindle Fire we have at home can do this just like my TV-PC setup, if
anyone cared to watch TV over a tiny screen with inadequate sound quality. Big
deal.
All it takes is for more people to use these alternative methods, and watch the
congloms being forced to make more content available that way.
Not the other way around, Craig, as you were suggesting.
