Yesterday Om Malik and I met for coffee in San Francisco. Surprisingly Om didn’t look like all of Mom’s cooking had taken any effect on him, other than he admitted he could now get back to blogging beyond what he’s been able to do.
One of the subjects we talked about at the Starbucks (where neither of us were using laptops) was the expected surge in the level of activity that would be seen in the various sectors that are touched and matured by Broadband.
This article that deals mostly with consumer level VoIP and the chip (semi-conductor) industry made me think of one comment I made to Om. I had said that “the public doesn’t want TV on their computer. They want their TV to be the computer.” I went on to say that i don’t understand why I can’t buy a 32″ flatscreen with a PC built in, and a second “remote” that is my laptop on which I can take my content with me.
Everything I read in the article makes me think that one day we will have that.
