2008 - The Year Internet TV Became Mainstream?

revilo78 writes "Will 2008 be the year we can finally drop our expensive cable bills? It's sure looking like it with Joost constantly adding content, ABC announcing it will stream shows in HD, and media boxes such as the Apple TV becoming popular. Television networks finally seem willing and ready to distribute their shows on the web, and hardware manufactures are finally making easy-to-use media boxes that will bring the web to the living room. Do you think we're finally there, the internet-based TV-on-demand we've all been wanting?"

    Are you kidding. With my University internet connection I am watching Netflix movies on demand over the internet at high quality. With my Wii, my wife watches youtube on the tv.
