[blog maverick] Why Do Internet People Think Content People Are Stupid ? - updated ...: The vast majority of broadband internet users already subscribe to a video service, so for most people they would not even notice a change.  So it would make absolutely zero sense for legit content providers to compete with the most consistent and largest source of revenue they have.  In fact, because the TV Everywhere approach will most likely not only increase the value of cable, telco video and sat video subscriptions, but also increase the value of broadband and mobile internet subscriptions (because of the content and the fact  the video can be hosted intra- network and deliver far better quality), TV Everywhere should be a no brainer

This control over delivery enables a guaranteed quality of service (QoS), and also allows the service provider to offer an enhanced user experience such as better program guide, interactive services etc.
