[Leica] IMG: Local TV Channels

[Nathan Wajsman]

Well, I think it is great. That high school football you don’t care about may be of great interest to an admittedly small audience. The fact that the technology and the economics of today make it feasible to serve this small audience is a good thing.

As I write this, I am watching Danish TV on the iPad on my desk, probably one of less than 10 people in Alicante who wants to watch this particular show, a geeky current affairs analysis programme. Just 10 years ago I would have to jump through endless hoops to access this content, now I just bring up the Danish TV app and away I go.

Cheers,
Nathan
