Online Video: A Right to Broadcast Online

Barry Diller Argues for Right to Broadcast Online - Digits - WSJ: "Television veteran Barry Diller fired a shot across the bows of cable providers Tuesday, arguing there’s room for everyone in the burgeoning business of Web video broadcasting. Mr. Diller told lawmakers Tuesday at a hearing on the future of television that broadband providers and other established companies shouldn’t hinder new Internet competitors from offering online video. . . . Although the subject of the Senate hearing was whether online video represents the future, the panelists who spoke, including representatives of Microsoft Corp., Amazon.com Inc. and Nielsen Co., observed that millions of Americans are already watching television and movies online. The average American currently spends about 146 hours a month watching traditional TV and about 4½ hours each watching Internet videos on PCs and mobile devices, said Susan Whiting, Nielsen’s vice chairman. About 91% of TV viewing is still done on traditional “What has emerged in the last four to five years is a simple message: consumers watch their favorite content on the best screen available at that moment,” she said."

As users flock to iTunes, Hulu and Netflix, TV stations struggle to survive - The Washington Post: "Now that viewing audience is becoming fragmented once again, social scientists say. On the Web, where users pick and choose what they want to watch, it’s harder to ensure that public broadcasting, local news and political debates will reach the bulk of American households. With options such as iTunes, Hulu, YouTube and Net-flix, communities are no longer bonded by watching the same evening news and prime-time shows. And as fewer people rely only on broadcast television, stations around the nation are struggling to survive even as some rural residents, elderly and the poor continue to rely on free TV."
