Why are you bundling all those things together? The only thing we care about here is cable or satellite TV for your argument.
- eigencoder 2mo agoThose are all the things that replace broadcast TV
- dyauspitr 2mo agoWell, cell phones and home Internet theoretically also replace cable and satellite TV but that’s not really what you see in real life.
- eigencoder 2mo agoMy 70 year old grandpa just cancelled his satellite TV in favor of streaming :)
- mulmen 2mo agoThey replace it for delivery. That's not what this is about. The change discussed here is about content creation. That content is already delivered through multiple channels.
- trollbridge 2mo agoBecause someone with access to those things has no need for rabbit ears. Broadcast TV today is a stream of bytes. The same stream can be delivered via cable, satellite, a cell phone, or home Internet.
- mulmen 2mo agoThis isn't about content delivery, it is about content creation. The rule change allows further centralization of editorial control of what your local reporters broadcast across all mediums.
