Walt Mossberg addressing a panel on getting internet video into the home

by Eric Franklin on April 5, 2008

Walt Mossberg speaking on a panel about the barriers to delivering true broad-brand video over IP to any number of devices. I like the no-nonsense way he speaks on behalf of consumers. It’s as if he’s saying, “you want to know why TV sucks? We’ve now trained people that advertising can be better than 8 minutes of mass produced crap for every 30 minute watching period. We expect targeting. You’re just going to have to get more sophisticated.” He also cuts to the chase on the meaningless debates between downloads and streaming. And finally, the thing that’s being flogged for all it’s worth on the blogs at the moment - he also states that the 3G iPhone will be out “within 60 days.” Booya!
