RE: The scale of streaming video on the Internet.

*Way* more power than the equivalent transmitters and TV sets. Even if you add in the cable headends, I suspect.

Yeah, but... This is really not comparable. Transmitters and TV sets require that everyone watch what is being transmitted. People (myself included) don't like, or don't want this method anymore. I want to watch what I want, when I want to. This is the new age of media. Out with the old.
