Broadband to Kill Off DVD?
Elteto writes "Just when we thought the DVD could not be any more ubiquitous, Serge Tchuruk at the Alcatel Forum in Paris announces that the days of the rapidly adopted medium are nearing their end. The increasing availability, affordability, and speed of broadband will contribute to a more efficient delivery method of media content. Will DVD join LaserDisc in obscurity?"
Like many french folk, he has become infected with the idea that his ideas are important. This is a completely laughable idea. DVDs...or other media will not simply disappear. Granted, with a country as small as france, it would be much easier to give broadband to each little farmer, but it doesn't happen quite that easily in countries as big as Russia, China, India, or America. Serge is a bit caught up in his ideal world. The matrix is not here yet buddy.
Who is this that even the wind and the waves obey Him? Surely this computer must submit also!
This would be the greatest thing ever. The FCC would no longer have a job...WHOOOO! Then all the HAM radio guys can roll up their licenses and smoke 'em.
