I often look at your "Take Control" poster that we keep up at the studio and think about what could have been... if only some of our collaborative efforts were ever cleared for take off. Happy Holidays to you as well! Thanks Richard.

Remind me to tell you a story one day about a power point presentation I made to CAO Leopold & co. just weeks after Nulty left BT where I used the analogy of a maturing being for BT, as you have alluded to in your title. As I recall, I spent a fair amount of time on this one graphic which, as it turned out, really made the CAO visibly angry. I'll see if I can dig it up. Admittedly, I can say in hindsight, it was a very risky and audacious analogy and I had read my audience completely wrong. Happy Holidays to you! Your post title made me chuckle.

It is altogether unfortunate when AMO's are criticized for using web video to the benefit of their local communities. We are noticing that much of the debate is rooted in $$ and stems from equipment purchased (Playout servers, TriCaster switchers etc.) that are standard tools of the trade, that now include web streaming features. This has led some close to cable providers to suggest that AMO's are spending X amount of dollars to stream their content an activity is not directly related to cable television and therefore a mismanagement of funds.

I find the assertion that funds spent on web video are being mismanaged to be particularly unreasonable, considering that's an area the telcos themselves are investing heavily in. Talk about double standards. Well said.
