We believe that on-demand changes the terms of the debate, indeed that it will change what we mean by the word 'broadcasting'.What does a schedule mean if viewers can access what they want when they want? What if they're viewing on something other than a TV? The BBC has some points worth considering on the subject, with plenty of statistics. In fact, it has a tremendous resource on broadcasting's past, present and future.
