The End of TV as we know it?

The Telegraph is reporting this morning that the battle has commenced for Television on demand.

With the BBC due to find out on Monday the decision on its I-player and ITV relaunching its website which will include downloads of programmes,it could,the paper says, be mearly weeks before the Internet population have access to downloaded programmes.

"This will allow wireless laptop users to watch television in public places like cafes and airports. Both services will also offer a "catch up" facility, so that people can use their computers to watch recent programmes that they have missed - including popular shows such as EastEnders, Coronation Street and New Tricks."

Will this be the final nail in the coffin of mass experience television?
