TheFutureofTelevision:What'sonNext?

BossesinthetelevisionindustryhavebeenkeepinganervouseyeontwoScandinavianswithareputationforcausingtrouble.InrecentyearsNiklasZennstrom,aSwede,findJanusFriis,aDane,havefrightenedthemusicindustrybyinventingKaZaA,a"peer-to-peer"(P2P)file-sharingprogramthatwaswidelyusedtodownloadmusicwithoutpayingforit.ThentheyhorrifiedthemightytelecomsindustrybyinventingSkype,anotherP2Pprogram,whichletsInternetusersmakefreetelephonecallsbetweencomputers,andverycheapcallstoordinaryphones.Theirnextmovewastofoundyetanotherstart-up--thistime,onethatthreatenedtodevastate(毀壞)thetelevisionindustry.
