In addition to Netflix’s streaming video service, Google has its “Google TV ” effort, and Apple is expected to update its Apple TV set-top box at its developer conference in San Francisco on June 8th. The big picture, if you will, is that the Internet has “finally become a legitimate video on demand distribution alternative for professional content, and time spent following.” This is going to cause headaches for traditional TV, they write.

The Internet enables superior personalization, broader distribution and faster product development than traditional MVPD services. This is likely to support higher-quality services that drive an accelerating shift in consumption and an infection of Internet economics into the traditional pay-TV industry.
