Slowly but surely content that's broadcast over cable networks and through satellite providers is being distributed through the public Internet. In terms of the technology, all the elements are falling into place to deliver high-quality video from the Net directly to viewers in their living rooms. It's easy to see how the old model for TV might evolve and adapt to distribution on the Net as the necessary technology makes its way into the home. But don't yet cry for traditional TV, Argentina. "The demise of traditional television is a folklore," said MTV's Jason Hirschhorn. "Viewers want more interactive TV, but traditional TV won't die. Still the best way to reach an audience is through the TV."
