unclewest: On the evolution of technology, one of the predictions of George Gilder is "The death of Television".

This is Gilder shorthand for the idea that the internet will be the conduit for video as well as for other data based content.

While I did buy some GMST to watch it, I am still concerned that if it is limited to TV, it will die with TV.

That may be a long lingering death - even if it happens.

After all AM radio is still very much alive.

While I do not expect TV to die, I do see a melding of TV (Video) and the internet for content delivery - and a melding of wireless and fiber.

What will GMST have as handle on for two way data transmission if a TV set is not the essential terminal?

Assume that you, NY Stew and/or Mike Buckley and others may explain to me that my concerns are not worth worrying about.

Looking for some explanation of the hold GMST has on the internet delivery system - if any.

Best.
