This is a trend that has already exploded on the Web - but you still get the sense there’s a lot more to come yet.
In October 2006 Google acquired the hottest online video property on the planet, YouTube. Later on that same month, news came out that the founders of Kazaa and Skype were building an Internet TV service, nicknamed The Venice Project later named Joost.
In 2007, YouTube continues to dominate. Meanwhile Internet TV services are slowly getting off the ground.
It’s fair to say that in 10 years time, Internet TV will be totally different to what it is today. Higher quality pictures, more powerful streaming, personalization, sharing, and much more - it’s all coming over the next decade.
The big question is: how will the current mainstream TV networks (NBC, CNN, etc) adapt?
