Though we already have plenty of ways to make use of Internet TV, the introduction of devices that will allow video to easily reach the living room through the open Internet seems almost non existent. Some reasons why we should focus on Internet TV, according to Jeremy Allaire and Adam Berrey, who wrote an open letter to the consumer electronics industry:

“-Internet TV is already transforming how people are entertained, educated and informed.

-The Internet is becoming the new distribution platform for video content and a clear rival to cable, satellite, and terrestrial broadcast.

-Hundreds of millions of videos, which range from short and funny user-generated content, to the best of blockbuster broadcast television, to tens of thousands of commercial and non-commercial channels of programming, are now available instantly and on-demand through the Internet.”

What we need
We need a device that combines video with existing television technology. Imagine Tivo that works with YouTube and all the other internet television stations. Imagine being able to click through like a tv and watch all your favorite videos and internet tv shows in one location.
