As expected, this is turning out to be the year of TV on the web.

OK, is it good news or bad news that people will be able to get to my websites via their television set? Sounds like good news, smells like good news, looks like good news...Why do I feel that it's not?

Google has partnered with Intel and Sony to create Google TV, an ambitious attempt to bake its Android software into TVs, Blu-ray players, and a Google set-top box called Buddy Box. Google TV is clearly a challenge to Apple TV, the Boxee Box, TiVo and to some extent cable itself. The goal is to fuse the Web with televisions in a way that other Internet-connected TVs don't. That is, Google TV is an open platform free of restrictions and powered by hardware that can handle Flash. [pcworld.com...]

If you had a broadcast television station right now, how would you feel?
