> Coming back to TV, there’s an irony here in the fact that the tech industry has spent decades wanting to get into the living room, get into TV, break up the cable bundle and move TV from scheduled linear to on-demand, and yet now that it’s happening, it’s happening in the TV industry, not the tech industry. I don’t see the irony. This seems to be a circular definition of “TV industry”. The technological breakthroughs (cable, satellite, streaming, mobile) that completely change TV don’t count as “tech industry”. Silicon Valley startups Netflix and Apple somehow don’t count, neither does Amazon, and YouTube doesn’t even get mentioned. I also have an issue with the implied definition of “commodity”. I think a commodity needs fungibility and availability. So storage is now a commodity, but large scale streaming is not. You can’t order a Netflix scale infrastructure on the market.
