[Electronics-Talk] THE SHIFT. TV's Future Is Here. It's Messy..

[Brad Hodges]

Greetings:

While many of us  follow technology closely using a variety of 
specialized sources, I also find that, from time to time,  the 
Business/Financial section of the New York Times contains some very 
useful and thought provoking information.

An article published this morning entitled "THE SHIFT. TV's Future Is 
Here. It's Messy.." is worth a read if you have any interest in the 
future of streaming or "Over the Top" television.

The author, Kevin Roose, describes both the impact of the fragmented 
state of affairs and outlines a not especially rosy future picture for 
OTT television.

The accessibility issues are overwhelming when we contemplate the 
proliferation of services and their related apps which Mr. Roose 
outlines. He sights Disney's announcement that it will leave Netflix and 
establish 2 separate streams, Disney Movies and ESPN as just one 
example. Naturally each will offer apps for most if not all of the 
myriad viewing hardware platforms and phones.

Will any of it be accessible? Check out the article...
