Let me try.
This is an enabling technology that has the potential to marginalize cable TV, satellite TV, and FCC controlled AM/FM/TV the way the internet has already mariginalized print media, US Post Office, and long distance phone calls.
In that case, woo hoo!
Dreaming and achieving great technology never seems to be a problem. The problem comes when lawyers get involved. Lawyers love to muck up a good standard. In the end we get a must less realized product thanks in great part to too much regulation and legislation.
Shouldn’t we already have large flat screen tv’s that wirelessly and automatically recognize and connect to our cable boxes, phones, laptops, gaming devices, and the like so that the experience is seamless and painless? Shouldn’t our cell phones and house phones use one and the same phone number? I can easily block any and all email addresses, why cant I block caller ID’s or phone numbers just as easily? Why are there USB, COAX, HDMI, DVI, ComponentV, RCA, Cat5, RJ11, RJ14, RJ21, RJ48, and on and on ad infinitum.
By the way, two of the most irritating and worst inventions of all time - screw on coaxial cable connections and bi-pin fluorescent bulb connections.
Well.... maybe.
It is more accurate to say that it will put a LOT more processing power into low-power mobile applications than previously dreamt of.
What then happens to marginalize cable TV, et al will be in part dependent upon carriers and how much they charge to deliver all that information to the mobile devices.
