Get ready to get over Convergence and embrace Divergence. What we are talking about is a new model by which to understand where streaming media is going and thus how to stay afloat in it. In the face of what seems to be a one-way trend increasingly geared to big money players, we have something different to suggest. Let's first look at why big money is in the ascendancy in streaming. It is because big money has the power to wait, and Convergence has been a long time coming.
Deep pockets have time to bide, and they've needed it.
They still do, and will for some time, because what's necessary to turn Internet streaming into TV is bandwidth, and broadband are more or less on hold. Don't take our word for that. Created and perpetuated by the technology deployed in the access network environment, The Bandwidth Gap is forecast to persist beyond 2015 if current approaches to technology are maintained. Clearly, you've got to be well heeled to get into this Convergence thing. Corp. All Rights Reserved.
