In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Bill Gates said what many have said for some time now – the current broadcast television model is dead. Acknowledging the changes brought on by Tivo, On Demand and Microsoft’s own Media Center, Gates says content delivery will change dramatically. “The ideal for many content people would be that they just put their content on the Internet and then they have a direct relationship with the viewer,” Gates said.
“That model for low-volume content is the future.”
