A central point the left and right both miss

What's missed is serious and widespread market demand for high-speed data connections — specifically connections that are not subordinated to television. |
Production farming
| | There is absolutely no reason why you couldnt subscribe from your DVR to a CBS "User Generated Content" feed that has the same content as what they offer to their Youtube Subscribers. The difference of course being its in TV or HDTV quality. The content would be delivered through your cable or satellite provider. There is no limit to the number of content providers , large or small that could offer subscriptions. |
| | What about pure user generated content ? What about people's cat, kids and response videos ? Simple. |
| | Comcast, DirecTV, Dish, Time Warner, Charter, Insight, Cox, any cable or satellite provider could easily offer a website that allows users to upload content the same way they upload to Youtube. |

I don't remember how I even came across the Todd version. It was one of those things one sees and links to because it's interesting.
