Interesting. This is a logical move on Comcast's part. No doubt everyone here is aware how Netflix has teamed with LG, who will build TVs with a equipment to allow people to download whatever they want, whenever they want, that Netflix might offer.

So, 2008 will be the year cable starts to die and what we call Internet TV gets real. You have a high-speed connection and that's that.

Five years from now, "TV channels" will be something we'll recall like we talk about dial telephones now.

So, does Comcast have a real shot a being a new Google? Good luck to them, but I don't think so. This is so far outside their area of expertise that it seems unlikely. More likely, Google will be next Google. Or maybe Netflix.
