With all the news about Google's great power these days, I know that when I play this I'll turn on CNN when I sent Alaskan forces against Kamchatka. On second thought, maybe not. I really don't want to have to hear George W. Bush try to pronounce "Irkutsk".
"TV makers are starting to be required to include digital tuners so that they"
Why require it? Why not just let the makers include features if they decide the public wants them. This is getting ridiculous.
I want HDTV to die a quick death. Maybe that will stop the government from its draconian attempts to outlaw standard TV broadcasting. The shift from standard NTSC TV to something better should be accomplished through market forces. Why not? You didn't have the government outlawing 8-tracks to force everyone to cassettes. Let it happen.... or not happen... on its own.

Going back 30 years to 1974, look at the predictions made then. How many came true? Did any come true at all?
Specific to the Google situation, it is easy to think of a few things that could throw the 30 year prediction into the wind: proliferation (increase) of privacy/DMCA/related acts, removal of such restrictions, computer speed improvements.
Mahy have been inspired by the Texas representative's "open source" outlook on campaign fundraising. "If there's a source of money, we are open to it."

For one thing, spectrum isn't "consumed". For another, it is expanding due to the use of compression of data.
Project Entropia? It takes guts to make up something that sounds like a paradise of entrails. I guess "The Intestinet" was already taken.
They are already being managed on Slashdot. Mod them up, mod them down, call them trolls.
