Vint Cerf: Expect the Internet to radically change television

Few people have more Internet credibility than Vint Cerf, one of its inventors.  Daniel Langendorf writes:

... Cerf...spoke to television executives at the MediaGuardian Edinburgh International Television Festival this past weekend and told them how the Internet’s influence was radically altering their businesses and how it was imperative for them to view this golden opportunity to be exploited instead of a threat to their survival (The Guardian report). ...

And quotes him as saying:

“In Japan you can already download an hour’s worthy of video in 16 seconds. And we’re starting to see ways of mixing information together … imagine if you could pause a television program and use your mouse to click on different items on the screen and find out more about them.”
