My music pals may dig this. I am not endorsing it. But it is true. More and more, as forms of media/communication technology merges the lines defining TV and Internet are fading. Which means WCCA TV continues to be relevant and more so, as it to merges into the new tech world.

By the way. BIG DEAL site discussed in the article(link) will pay songwriters something like a whopping $.00005 per song scan ( I may be off a zero. You get the point ). Oh Yeah, the days of becoming famous may be somewhat possible, but forget about getting rich with this Internet scheme.
This seems to be the direction this i-market is taking. Capitalizing of the content created by others. They may call it media democracy but it seems to be nothing is really changed. Exploitation for a buck.

To me, the following article is a warning that the city of Worcester should be paying attention and solidify a franchise before things shift against municipal and the PEG channel use of broadband. I have read that already Charter and Comcast have suggested they will follow suit. Net Neutrality must exist in order for PEG to remain on the Internet.
If we loose this, depending upon the use of the Internet to reach out and connect could be more costly than ever.

Free Press launches FreetheiPhone.org
for wireless freedom and real open
access across all mobile networks

WASHINGTON -- Today, Free Press launched FreetheiPhone.org
-- a campaign demanding an open,
competitive wireless Internet for everyone. Apple's iPhone -- locked
into AT&T's slow, closed network -- is a bellweather for the future of
mobile Internet. Bad policies have created an unhealthy wireless
industry where companies like AT&T and Verizon are gatekeepers over the
mobile Internet -- with the power to block competition and chain devices
to their slow-speed networks.

The FreetheiPhone.org campaign aims to
change all of that. In coming weeks, the campaign will urge Americans to
demand that the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) and Congress
give them the freedom to use all Internet devices on any wireless
network in a marketplace that offers true competition, services and
consumer choice.
