Quality Video Will Keep Fetching Top Dollars

The Internet will not make the Television go away. They will merge. And quality content will keep making money. It can be argued, more money. It is harder to make a top quality 30 minute video clip than it is to take one great photo. There is still a barrier to entry, but the barrier is lower, and so more high quality content gets in.
Ocean City
You need to believe this, I wrote my last post before I read this article, which is mind blowing.
The Next Giant Chinese City Will Float In The Ocean

The Next Giant Chinese City Will Float In The Ocean
The whole city is designed to be fairly self-sufficient. Tidal energy will power the island, and farms and hatcheries around the edge will provide food. Trash will be converted into more energy on site. The island will even have its own factory producing some hyper-local goods..... As futuristic as it seems, the island may be coming soon--a large Chinese property investment firm is reviewing the design now and expected to begin testing some of its components in 2015.

Why only land and countries, I believe oceans should also be covered. The signals need not be as strong, but it makes no sense to leave them behind.

Balloons, Drones, And Now Satellites
Outside of Google Beijing, Jan 13, 2010 (Photo credit: Junyu Wang | 王俊煜) |
if Google could beam Internet connectivity to countries that have only a single ISP—often one controlled by a government—and very high prices for Internet connectivity, “that could be a game changer for a huge swath of the globe” ..... O3b satellites orbit at a relatively low altitude of about 8,000 kilometers, and the company says this means a more-tolerable 150-millisecond delay coverage to latitudes up to 45 degrees north or south of the equator, a swath of territory inhabited by 70 percent of the world’s population.Philanthropy is good business for Google. If it takes internet access to 100 million new people, that will be 100 million new people conducting searches on Google. The monetization part is in-built. And so I wonder why Google is not even more muscular in its attempts.
This is my idea of a moonshot.
