The Shape of things to come

[eatapeach]

here's a post from over a year ago by kingk7 over at gfy.

The internet will most likely be more and more integrated with TV, IMO. Also other medias will be integrated with it.

For instance, cell phones, I do not think alot of people realize this, but this should be a HUGE revenue source in the years to come. With the new UMTS system coming, with its high data transfer rate, it is actually possible to watch streaming videofeeds on cell phones. My guess is that cell phones and PDAs will become more like one unit, and it will be huge.

if you recall the rationale for the big deal between time warner and aol was a content company providing content to a broadband internet company.

with all of the new channels of data transmission (digital cable, satellite, cellular, internet, and whatever else comes along next) there is a massive demand for content. from mainstream to adult there is an expanding market for content and the content providers are just barely keeping up.

i agree with vick that some aspects of this business will be history, but for businesses that are looking forward and outward i think there will be unlimited potential for growth.

and have i mentioned niches yet? oh yeah, niches
