Everyone connected to a video network, allowing for mass awareness of content that will be created in such a unique way, that everyone can use it, but which allows each person to differentiate themselves.
Possibilities
1. An interface (partially customizable by graphically appealing template(control over individuality?)) will allow the user to have access to a myriad of multimedia applications, from watching cable TV, accessing internet, voice and video conference, photo and video capture, games, all transferred wirelessly . Advertising will inevitably have to be imbedded in the programming of content.
2. The government having access to wireless receivers and decoders will inevitably want "police" this new wireless phenomenon. Eventual struggle for control.
3. Fox News Corp., owning a thing such as Myspace, who has over 60 million people and counting, now has access not only to personal profiles with all sorts of information about our personal lives, birthday, email, music, IM, PHONE NUMB3R, contacts, addresses and friends. Now with all this control over the information that at the moment is most likely being reviewed to find the answer to the next generation of advertising, who is to say that as 2nd or 3rd party Fox could potentially sell this information to the highest bidder(govt?).
4. None of the above because our government loves us...
