Infrastructures, Applications, Content.

When you talk about TV you consider two businesses:

1) The Infrastructure business (Satellite, cable operator)

2) The content business ( TV programs, movies)

When you talk about Internet you must consider a third one:


3) The applications business.

That is by far the revolution of our enterteinment world, it is what allows the customer to make his own content, and it is mostly the content he prefers.
Thus the huge success of the P2P networks, of all the interactive softwares.

But one greater revolution is going to happen soon.

The content that was a monopoly of big corporations, thanks to the lowering cost of the hardware used to make it, will have the competition of millions of "Content makers" and "Content providers".

The "Infrastructure business" is changing hands.
The customers thanks to the fact that can lease the lines for an afforfdable flat fee, are able to broadcast every content they want.

The "content business" is changing hands too.
From the war between the copyright holders and the "hackers" to the war of "artists" chained to a content producer and "artists" representing themselves.

And it is not difficult to understand who will be the winner.
