Media / Entertainment revolution
Once the basic problems of wiring the world looked like being solved (pace moans about bandwidth !), business spotted the confluence of comms., computing & entertainment
A complete “package” is content, comms & delivery
Early 1990s saw takeovers:
- content providers (movie companies, news agencies)
- Comms providers (AT&T, cable TV)
- h/ware & s/ware providers (Microsoft, Microsoft & Microsoft)
All positioning for a stake in each area
