Report from CES: How Will You Watch TV?

Back from the Consumer Electronics Show, Gurin notes a major development one might call the Emerging Entertainment Ecosystem.

We’re moving rapidly into a world where movies, live TV, music, and more will be available on all devices, anywhere and at any time. The Consumer Electronics Association estimates that 70 percent of all consumer electronic devices will be connected to the Internet by 2014. With half of all Internet traffic now used for video, and more video use to come, the demands on our infrastructure will ratchet up by the year. The National Broadband Plan makes several recommendations for managing the new demand, and the FCC’s spectrum policy has made the expansion of wireless broadband a priority. The ultimate goal of all this new technology is a better experience and more opportunities for consumers.
