Full Stream Ahead

An opinion column in FT, by Rob Glaser, CEO of RealNetworks, on the next 10 years in broadband/streaming content…”The combination of these three developments – universal wireless connectivity based on the IP standard that’s connected in a worldwide broadband network – will allow us to treat IP access like water or electricity.”

“The greatest measure of this new environment, however, is the fact that these days we talk less about the plumbing and ways of getting the pipes to the people than about the experience itself…Consumers today are not concerned about IP or streaming – they just know they want the movie on their TV, or photos on the PC and music on the home stereo.”
