Yawe,
Indeed convergence is threatening traditional Broadcasting Houses. In the
US IPTV and Cable TV are more widespread than free to air TV. Congress
recently asked why FCC continues to manage the frequency spectrum. It
will not surprise if the next big TV station is Safaricom TV, Google TV
etc. Much of the digital signals will be carried via
communications
networks. As voice becomes competitive, the meat will lie in content and
its channels of distribution. Already if you have a webcam, we could
stream our discussions to some IPTV (No license required from CCK).
