Why You Should Be (Very) Afraid

  • Forrester Research: ITV/IPG/EPG will "rival the Internet." GemStar thinks you can fit a TV guide and a half-dozen banner ads on your screen.
  • Your media will be controlled by more and more "intelligent" boxes. You won't need to worry about those pesky user interface issues since professionals have that under control.
  • DRM is serious issue, but a corollary is you already have too much media to sort through.
  • We ingest media based on recommendations from people: mavens, critics, friends. You'll never get that kind of multi-media, real-time, IM-aware guide from corporate America.
