Main problem with "Broadcast TV" is we have to adjust to their time
table.  "Online" thing is a response to that, of course, with the help
of enabling technologies and infrastructure.

I really don't know why TV stations don't have online live feed or
online reruns of what they broadcast.  I mean, their revenue is ad.
So, ad in the broadcast, ad in the online streaming, I don't have
problem with it.  All their problems will be solved with that.
