If traditional Americans are ever to gain control of their destinies again, nothing is more important than the destruction of those dumb them down t.v. media boxes with content bundled garbage, and media owned and controlled messages mostly stealing from your lives.

One quick case in point is the lack of mass media coverage taking place during the past week’s “Occupation Wall Street” demonstrations that have been ongoing.

Best thing for all Americans, will continue to come from a free and open internet, however. Get rid of those walled gardens ASAP! They need an empowering internet where they can use their time to search, discover, entertain, create and educate themselves according to their own individual dreams which provides them with the liberty their founding fathers may have truly believed had once existed.

I see some mention of the MSO’s here, or the Big Bad Cable companies, and they are bad!

Some of the really smart ones here know that their days are numbered because, it’s true that the PIPES for bringing our eyes around the globe ubiquitously via the internet–ALL IP– were capitalized more than ten years ago, even while the DUOPOLISTS inside the last mile including telecom and cable have attempted to kill it or slow it down each and every part of the way.

Truth be known, the cables are only able to bring you to the internet because of one of the carriers who spent billions in capital to bring them there. That carrier, Level 3 Communications(LVLT), by proxy is your cable company who had, and does “lease” fiber capacity from them today with “leases” running out in less than ten years. Much of their digital voice services–Voip–including all of the bells and whistles plus E911 are Level 3 Enabled.

Level 3 and Comcast you should know, are still working out their dispute of Comcast expecting to create a toll booth in order to block Netflix’s over the top video from reaching their end users who are craving it. Level 3 can deliver the content more cheaply, and deeper inside Comcast’s network territories because it owns their network, or can build interconnections to the necessary points and not add superfluous expense to third party customers like Netflix, or consumers who will ultimately be gouged by Comcast in the end.

Wall Street courtesy of their greedy omnipotence, on the other hand, recently asked Level 3 why they won’t simply add the costs Comcast is dictating, a “just because we can” dictum, to their customers and move on! Level 3 refuses to act improperly, economically speaking, and is appealing to the FCC for assistance in developing the right “economic paradigm” for weighing bit traffic, i.e., freight long into the future so the internet’s sustainability is better served, while customers’ long term needs are met.

Thanks for your valuable time, and the great article spearheaded by the author!

The infrastructure required to deliver IPTV at the same level of service is much larger and more expensive than the infrastructure required for broadcast. The base infrastructure requirements are basically similar, but in broadcasting each incremental viewer is free, not so with IPTV.

I’m no expert, and I wouldn’t even recommend asking *me*, but if your plan is to beat this thing by helping build the future, start by asking the *consumers* what they want. The consumers are the people who will pay for it: the parents, the people with jobs, the people with income to spend on it. You can’t beat piracy simply because the first and foremost reason people pirate things is because they can’t afford it. Why is the industry trying so hard to fight piracy and free content? Do you really think you can get those people to pay for that content instead?

You can’t win over the 16 year old without a job, no matter what you do. Your best bet is to provide an attractive product that someone with expandable income will want to invest in (instead of pissing him off so much that he resorts to piracy). As a real consumer, I can tell you for a fact that what I want isn’t a bunch of videos of teenagers kicking each other in the nuts. Yet, somehow, that’s the number 1 trend. *sigh*

Three years ago I identified that there were no shows in prime time anywhere in the world that were aimed at a young family. Where the parents and their young children could all sit and enjoy together. There was childrens programming, adults programming, and “Reality TV” which is mainly adults programming, but sometimes has child friendly content.

There are no shows like The Muppet Show any longer. Where the parents have more artistic/adult content mixed in with bad jokes and slapstick for the children.

It is impossible to claim that the audience no longer wants this sort of content, when no one has created it for 20 years. Before the Harry Potter fad, people were claiming that children no longer wanted to read. The problem with their theory was that no one had created written content aimed at tweens in over a decade.
