Apple might be an enabler for true IPTV happening sooner rather than later. I had lunch with someone yesterday who had just moved house and was considering buying a Mac Mini instead of a PVR.

Combine this with BT's inability to market products to consumers and I predict a disaster. I see it costs 49p to view a music video, who on earth is going to do that when there are 30 free music channels on Sky and I can see almost any music video for free on YouTube? As I mentioned before Nic, Apple will lauch their iTV box in 2007, providing a proper connection between content on your computer and TV.

The role that social networking can play in guiding viewing selection is an obvious area for development - we're going to see a lot more in this space.
