Default Google Trying to Upset the Big Cable Model

http://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/...-revolution.ars

"Behind the scenes at the Federal Communications Commission, a quiet war is being waged over the future of television. It isn't getting as many headlines as net neutrality or the Comcast/NBCU merger, but the debate is nearly as important. It's about how far Google, Sony, and their allies can take their Google TV system."

Typical, the big monopolies are unwilling to adapt to compete with the new technologies that threaten to make them irrelevant.  People are quickly realizing that they are paying $100+ for cable bills due to the imposed packages just to get the few channels they want, just to get the few series they want.  A small but noticeable group are already realizing that Hulu + Netflix and a little patience will get you most of the same content for a lot less, just a little slower.  Google TV could make this even more palatable.  Big cable, you days in your current form are numbered.
