From Barron's 2-19-07:

"THE VIDEO REVOLUTION IS HERE. After years of talk and promise, digital television is finally beginning to see the light of day. At this year's Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas the hot topic was mobile video's emergence. There are finally wireless networks, especially in places like Korea, that "boast enough bandwidth to deliver quality images. Handset makers, led by Samsung and Apple (ticker: AAPL), are trying to make devices to handle whatever Hollywood and the music industry pump out."

"But mobile video is just an extension of a much larger phenomenon: online television."
