Opinion
Jan 28, 20091 min

This is a bit of a hobby horse for Cuban, but he does do a good job of painting a bleak picture:

Internet Video. It’s the salvation for content creators everywhere. It’s the end to dependence on the big bad meanies, the cable and satellite companies. Right? Hell no. The concept that “over the top” video creates a valid business alternative for content creators is as misguided an internet business myth as there is.

His bottom line: Not unless you own a content-delivery network.
