I agree. I am working on a followup post, the problem (as always) is know what to cache.

I think that if we get away from the idea of watching shows live, we'll see interesting things start to happen.

How about, if we treat the phone as a PVR? The user selects the shows, they are pushed down to the device as it is broadcast (multicast!) and then the user is free to pause/watch/play whenever they want.

Treating them like a PVR would also add a lot of value to offpeak bandwidth, since the carriers could push shows out at those times instead of during peak hours.

Live content could still be multicast (news/etc), but again with the tivo style, you end up with pause/etc controls while it still received multicast content from the network.

The trick is to do video on demand without actually doing it "on demand"
