TV Broadcasting In 2010

“Personal video recorders, satellite radio, and other digital

technologies will start to have a real impact after 2005, as will

the changes that are underway in electronic commerce. Taken

together, all of these developments are likely to slow the growth

of media in their traditional operations, while creating new

opportunities for those same media if they are prepared to

embrace the digital future”.
