So who needs streaming video on the Internet?
People do not want to spend costly bandwidth to be able to look at what they are not looking at on the TV screen.
People don't want to be entertained on their Internet connection. They want to be connected.
At the computer fair Cebit in Germany are now presented complete packages for fast InterNet, television and telephone.
In France the wave under the key word Triple Play already rolls since one and a half years.
A furioser competition around best contents and possible use of the technology was inflamed there.
But the customer is still on bait.
Convergence is one thing and use of the Internet for the wrong purpose is another side of the coin.
Centralized Broadcasting TV on the Internet at the expenses of costly and valuable bandwidth with uncertain results and certain lower image quality, is without any doubt utterly stupid.
And I do not even dream of talking about streaming video on a portable phone.
A phone is for talking and the Internet is first and foremost an interactive way for data transmission.
The perfect and economical way to transport and stream the user's content.
Triple play, but in an intelligent way.
