Mark Cuban on the future of HDTV

Thursday, 26. April 2007, 19:59:48

, ,

I saw Mark Cuban at an EFF event held at Etech last month in San Diego. He and Fred von Lohmann, an EFF lawyer, debated on "Copyright, Youtube and the Future of Web 2.0". It was an excellent debate, and I was very impressed by Mr. Cuban's insights.

I recently came across an article he wrote (on his blog) about the future of HDTV. In particular, this part caught my eye:
We are getting to the point where features that would have been added to PCs in the past will be added to your HDTV. Advances in wireless technology will be more important to your new TV than your desktop PC once your TV has an IP address and internet connectivity, which is right around the corner.

New and unique applications will be developed for your TV ahead of your PC once every HDTV has a browser built in starting in 18 - 24 months.

I think that fits into our vision quite well.

Cuban's a crazy guy, but he's very smart and savvy. If you have some time (yeah, right :wink: ), check out his blog.
