"Behind the scenes at the Federal Communications Commission, a quiet war is being waged over the future of television," begins this long, thoughtful post by Matthew Lasar. He explains why The National Cable and Telecommunications Association is up in arms about the FCC's proposal for an AllVid system, which "could transform Google TV from just a neat product into a revolution."
