  • Joost really seems to have a lot of momentum, and may prove to be the early leader in Internet TV. They seem to actually understand that you need to *pay* for content. (What a concept!)

    The real shift will come when TV advertising comes full-throttle to the web.

    I don’t consider YouTube to be a serious replacement TV — both due to the content, and due to the fact that their business is based on piracy. (That will not survive.)

    Though, the BBC deal may indicate they are realizing that.
