Jason/SPLog<br />How are you all? Yes I heard about internet by the mains that will solve my not having ADSL problem but Jason what happens if you get a power surge ???? does that make you download faster HEEEEEEE Only joking but don't laugh, some idiot will ask that question. will have to investigate!!.<br />SPLog (Broadband Internet was supposed to be the end of Television and Video).<br />Not likely! but VOD and the local video shop are on a collision course and its in the interest of Pay TV that Video on Demand shuts down the local video store.<br />A scenario: could you imagine if 90% of the video stores were closed around Australia? A percentage of the people would be forced to get pay television. I spoke to my local video store about this matter 1 1/2 years ago. The manager and assistant manager looked at each other and grinned, probably thinking I was a fucking idiot but knowing C1 was about to be launched and knowing the transponders on it and knowing who was leasing all the transponders, including the Australian military, I knew and so did others in the know that the extra transponders for foxtel were going to be for video on demand. I can guarantee you with my 50 years plus on this earth that technology causes unemployment and this will be the next case.<br />If any manager/franchisee/owner of a video store is reading this get your act together. All of you get together and plan your method of attack as they are already slagging you saying you don't need to go to a video shop anymore. Its about time you find the weaknesses of video on demand and exploit them to your interest.<br />Phil <img border="0" title="" alt="[Mad]" src="images/icons/default/mad.gif" />
