I Want My Net TV!

摘要

Nearly 27 years ago MTV premiered, introducing a generation to the idea of consuming entertainment in 3-minute clips. In the intervening years the network has all but given up on music videos, but thanks to the internet, bite-sized media is back in a big way. According to the Pew Internet & American Life Project's 2007 report on online video, three-quarters of broadband users with high-speed connections at home and work watch or download online video. The amount of video they are watching continues to grow: comScore, Inc.'s Video Metrix service indicated that in February 2008 alone, U.S. internet users viewed more than 10 billion online videos. This represented a 3% growth over the previous month, despite the fact that January was 2 days longer.
