[For those outside of the USA, we can only dream of such developments.
Geo-blocking and regulation is preventing the rest of the world access to
many of these tools in the USA. But they will come someday and will
fundamentally change the business model for the cablecos. Someday consumers
will rebel against bundling, channel relocation and forced fed cultural
content. Thanks to Dewayne Hendricks for this pointer-BSA]

If you would like to learn why popular TV shows and movies are being made
available legally on the Internet for free and how we can get them to our
televisions, this interview is for you.
Our guest today is <http://www.videonuze.com/static.php?page=willrichmond>
Will Richmond who is the editor and publisher of
<http://www.videonuze.com/> VideoNuze, an online publication for broadband
video decision-makers. VideoNuze concentrates on the emerging Internet Video
industry. Will has prior experience in the CATV industry thereby providing
valuable perspective on how the sector reacts to developments. This is
important because cable companies are the leading providers of broadband
Internet access along with being the dominant networks delivering
conventional television programs.
As noted in earlier podcasts, a number promising websites are emerging that
host, or index, advertising-supported Internet Video of popular TV shows and
movies. Examples include Hulu
<http://insidedigitalmedia.com/hulu-and-the-future-of-television/> , Fancast
<http://insidedigitalmedia.com/tv-shows-and-movies-on-the-internet-legally/>
, Veoh <http://www.veoh.com/videos/v16572620kCXh2jYR> , TVGuide.com, and AOL
Video. They're great for consumers because they are free to the viewer and
completely legal.
In our analysis the emergence of such websites could prove to represent the
"tipping point" at which consumers push hard enough to find ways to get
Internet Video streams to display on their televisions. ABC, NBC, and CBS
have all made popular shows available online. There are also hundreds of
popular, or once popular, movies from major Hollywood studios available at
the websites noted above.
As users get increasingly accustomed to sites like Hulu, they find that they
like the convenience of on-demand viewing, personalization of selections,
viral sharing of program recommendations, community commentary, email
notifications of show postings, and the abundance of interesting
programming. Intense users are even avoiding CATV or satellite service. For
example, Will's research concludes that most subscribers will cut CATV
service before they cut ISP (Internet Service Provider) service. This is
particularly relevant given the current economic downturn.
However, Will's research also concludes that the cable networks, like ESPN,
and AMC, will be reluctant to provide shows to websites like Hulu. He
reasons that they will decline to put at risk the traditional fees they
collect from CATV operators.
