Ok, yes, it's going to be cool to have a Youtube-like platform for video on Apple devices. I agree with other commenters who suggest it's not that revolutionary

Ok, yes, it's going to be cool to have a Youtube-like platform for video on Apple devices. I agree with other commenters who suggest it's not that revolutionary. This is the sound of another brick being knocked out of the wall, but it is not the sound of the wall falling.
>> Simply put, the cable industry in its current state is comparable to us still buying CDs, paying for e-mail, or renting a video from BlockBuster.
It's comparable to those things if the CD store, pay email provider, and Blockbuster all had municipal monopolies on their equivalent of last-mile coax.
The wall is going to fall, but the cable companies have a lot of life left in them, and they still have many opportunities to use their wealth and monopoly power to try and lobby their way out of danger.
