Content is prince regent, distribution king?
The Street's George Mannes says cable companies could choke off the profit from content. I think he misses the point, because he seems to think that video-on-demand is the future. There's no reason to even think of the cable company as a gate-keeper when you can download video over an IP network. The idea that cable network fees could shift to pay-for-performance is ridiculous, since they this will ultimately drive content providers to alternate channels.
