Marc Cuban Is Psyched About Cable

Tru2way is a crock of shit.<p>It is the re-branding of OCAP that was touted as the internet killer for a decade but never got deployed. I got sucked into wasting time about three years ago learning it.<p>Tru2way sucks because the MSOs' control all the apps that can be deployed. There is no room for 3rd party developers. You cannot have background processes. Development tools cost 10k per license. Did I mention I doubt it will ever be deployed?<p>All cable has going for it is the content but sites like Hulu give the content creators control over distribution and they would like nothing more than cutting out the middleman.

<i>Additional bandwidth will help, but Cuban's point is that there's too much uncertainty in the ability to deliver video over the web (let alone high def video).</i><p>HD is certainly possible over the web. (see my profile page if you want). It's just there's a stigma amongst people that produce HD for TVs that you to use TV bitrates and TV encoders for it to look decent.

Really, CNBC? You're going to have an article with a famous name in the title and completely ignore the spelling? It's Mark Cuban.

I recently cancelled my cable because internet video has acceptable quality, unmatched variety and isn't marginally more expensive than my existing internet bill.
