    I don't think it will totally kill satellite TV, especially now that ATT owns DTV. Lot's of people take their satellite receivers with them to tailgate and watch games.

    Agree, the underlying Internet service is a big factor. That's why I noted in your other thread my location and provider.

    More and more they are taking iDevices, streaming a TV feed via broadband, and bluetoothing it to a big screen. As speeds pick up, people will ditch the dish.

    Speed is t the problem. It's reliability.

    I can download at 100mbs. It just cuts out. Streaming is perfect. Live games you are screwed.

    exactly what i was thinking. yeah we are a long ways from reliability on that scale for live events. and the more who stream the less bandwith available so it gets progressively worse, real fast.

    They will have to have a huge bandwidth boost at Tiger Stadium. In the past its been so bad you couldn't get a signal to even make A call

    I've always said . . . whoever is the first to get fibre optics all the way to my house will get all my business. Whether the phone company, the cable TV company, or a third party.

    This is one of this areas where I think local governments like Lafayette are smart to install a city-operated non-profit physical network and let us all have access to many more online vendors for phone, internet, HDTV, and lots more. It's where a bit of smart government can enable much more private enterprise by ending the near-monopolies enjoyed by Cox and ATT.

    Ray Nagin was an executive with Cox before becoming mayor of NOLA. Nagin, while at Cox, installs fiber optics throughout the city ($500,000,000 project). Soon thereafter, he runs for Mayor. Post Katrina enjoyed the exclusive rising of fiber optic leasing to god and everyone else. Huge failure with the crime camera install, but that doesn't preclude Cox from becoming the monopoly they have enjoyed to date.
