[Ti] [OT?] Macworld keynote

[John Griffin]

'TV On Demand' is the future. Having to buy packages that the cable  
and satellite providers put together is so yesterday. Right now I  
have a contract with a satellite provider and have to buy an  
expensive assortment of packages in order to get the few channels I  
enjoy watching. The Apple approach is what the future holds. Buy and  
download only what you want to watch (not sure whether it would be  
commercial free, but that would be a definite plus).

I have worked this out on paper using my own TV watching habits and  
it works out to being much less than paying monthly for my satellite  
basic service plus the optional packages.
