Mark Cuban dismisses viability of HD Internet streaming
Mark Cuban, founder of HD.net, has said that the Internet's "ancient technology" of copper wires and coaxial cable means that reliable streaming of high definition content is a non-starter.
Internet video is only as good as its weakest link, he said, and that's "pretty weak".
The concept of Internet-delivered video replacing traditional TV was "laughable" and "not even on the radar".
His view is not at all surprising. We're only just entering the age of standard definition digital downloads from the Net, with any other type of video streaming usually confined to "YouTube quality".
