Why you should care that Intel is getting into Internet TV?

Intel is developing an Internet TV set-top box.  There are already dozens of set-tops from other manufacturers.  Why should I care?  Because it is not so much about the box but the content they promise to deliver.  Intel is in the process of partnering with the content creators.  This will potentially give consumers the ability to purchase 'cable like' TV packages that will completely bypass the traditional cable and satellite networks giving consumers a 3rd choice for cable TV.  However, there is low expectation this offering will save the consumer a significant amount of money.  But I see it as a start of good things to come.  Once the model is established, other competitors will flood the market bringing down prices over a more cost effective network called "the internet".  Click here for more information.
