OK, Blog Viewer input being requested.

It occurs to me that Broadcast (over the air) television will probably no longer exist in its current form in 15, perhaps 20 years maximum. I assume that it will be delivered over high speed internet lines (IP) to the home by then. Knowing that, I’m out of a job at the age of 55! yikes! 🙂

Question: How can we leverage this knowledge now? What would you invest in (or even short-sell?) now, if you had the funds to invest? What would you buy? 1500 Foot broadcast towers are out, as there will be a surplus of them in 20 years.

What will be in demand in 20 years because of this seachange?

And on the same vein- Telephone service will no longer exist as we know it in 10 to 15 years. It also will transfer to IP (See

Vonage for the IP based phone service) USAToday says that IP phones will be 50% of all phones by 2009. (see article here)

Knowing that, What would you invest in, (or divest yourself of) to make money when it all hits critical mass.
