I've said that for a very long time. Once the B/W limitations are gone, we will see the internet totally replace the TV. You will get a web TV like box from your cable company and it will connect your TV to the internet. (think why on earth would Microsoft buy webTV, also think appleTV).

TV stations will have on demand service via the web on your TV. All of this will slowly phase out the little guys as the corporate mongols slowly get their hands around the neck of the currently free marketplace of the internet. If they can do away with net neutrality it will be the first step along that path.
