Is The Internet Outdated?
Recent exponential growth in broadband video, social networking tools, and IP telephony have relied on the ability of the Internet to support such huge data traffic. Now early Internet pioneers are pointing out that the web of webs was never designed to support such bandwidth. Luckily, being pioneers, they're hard at work on the next generation of technical underpinnings for the web. Read about it here (.pdf file).

Ephemeral Networking
One under-reported (in my opinion) aspect of broadband video has been how the internet enables ad-hoc networks to spring up around time- or location-specific events. An entire channel devoted to G8 summit coverage is exactly the sort of promise (from a programming perspective) internet video is meant to fulfill and is a fantastic way for a micro-broadcaster to excel where the traditional networks and even cable news organizations fall short.

Movies and TV Intersect (and Shameless Plug III)
Time was you could tell movies from TV shows. Movies had big budgets, big effects, and big stars, whereas TV focused on smaller stories and ongoing character development. But in recent years TV has caught up, at least in the realm of narrative ambition and production values, as evidenced by shows like Lost, Smallville, Battlestar Galactica, and the CSI franchise. For the latest evidence, check out NBC's big breakout hit, Heroes, and the work of the Emmy-nominated director who shaped it and other recent feature-caliber TV series like Revelations and American Dreams.
