I\'ve tried and tested anything and anyone offering tv over internet in my neck of the woods and nothing even comes close to a satisfactory quality.. yet. And I agree that it will take some heavy investments to get the speed up to a level where TV will be cool over the regular broadband connection. I couldn\’t agree more.

Great thoughts. But for a genius and a revolutionary like you I\’m very shocked by your linear thinking. You are thinking about todays technologies solving tomorrow\’s problems. The thing is, tomorrow\’s technology is nothing like todays. OK, so maybe it won\’t be \”broadband\” over copper the way we know it today. But it won\’t be TV or cable as we know it today either.

Jon Sandy hit it right on the nose with the Bill Gates \”no one will ever need more than 640 KB of Ram.\” comment. On that note, remember when we weren\’t going to get a PC processor over 166K? The \”super processors of the 90\’s required liquid nitrogen to keep them from burning up. Now my cell phone has more processing power and memory than those super computers.

Honestly, 7 years ago could you fathom 2GB of storage on a flash drive the size of your thumbnail?

The list goes on…

Love ya Mark! Keep pushing the limits!

Google, though not evil- is pretty stupid.
Never say anything so close-minded.
Anyone re-call the famous Bill Gates “no one will ever need more than 640 KB of Ram.” ? ?
If people can use Binary Newsgroups to distribute high definition TV’s shows that are downloaded by the hundreds of thousands, than surely more legal means of high-quality video content is easily feasible. Online media downloading is already a multi-billion dollar industry, so getting ahead in the market would definitely mean big bucks.
Point #2: With the proliferation of DVR’s and Tivo type devices, many many people aren’t watching their programs live anyway. Commercials suck the scheduling doesn’t always work out. Obviously downloading media content like TV shows is quite appealing if it isn’t live. That’s where the money will be, and that’s where we will find our solution to still being able to watch high-definition content via the internet.

Even dvd sales are going down, and everyone digs a good dvd night. Freedom combined with technology is a path to innovation. The cool thing is we dont even know what we will stumble upon as we try to breakthrough a new inventive cycle. Technology, Social networking, Viral marketing, standard economic of supply and demand and a couple of visionaries can take us to that next level. thanks for the space to blab to ya.

In my opinion Google is sticking to its philosophy. Wise move, tell the world you are not going to scale for video and the internet is not designed for TV while secretly indexing all video content/community (esp w/ YouTube merger) on the internet to the point of providing a streamline for society.

I recall the Personal Computer as a general concept was thought to save us from the establishment. I don't recall anyone describing Microsoft as anyones saviour. I do remember Bill Gates saying that the Internet would never amount to much though. My memory must be failing me.
