Jay, I think that the thresholds may be shifting, where more folks are now looking for the flexibility and added features which digital would allow. A great many still don't care. Granted. Then again, a great many still don't use the web either, but they are soon to be in the minority. While researching digital TV, I came across the original NII papers of about six, seven years ago. I thought I'd post this one from Cable Labs as a refresher, and as a means of adding some perspective as to what the prevaling thinking was at that time, where we were, and where we might be headed based on what has actually occured since then. Note that many of the projected events which were thought to take place going forward at that time, actually did. A point to consider, however, is that the concepts discussed in the paper below were born at a time that preceded even the slightest notion of what Internet Time dynamics have proved to be. Furthermore, those same basic design criteria are still, in a significant way, governing where the cable broadband industry is going up to five, some say ten, years from now.
