We need a better name. Besides, we're not really casting anyway (this is not a push technology, except possibly for the pings and trackbacks).
Though you may have an argument here, it has a few holes.
Today, we have new technology... we are a digital culture.
Though as a publisher, you may not be 'pushing' content like traditional systems have done, but if the aggregator tools and audience have your channel subscribed and set to 'catch' and download your media, moments after you publish something new, then you are indeed pushing media to an audience. Sure, they need to subscribe first, but so to do you need to subscribe to digital cable channels and satellite radio. Once subscribed, publishers are able to push content to you.... as you pull it in.
We are casting and we are catching. It will become more and more seamless. I have not used Akimbo or other TV centric systems, but I believe you subscibe to Internet channels and it downloads the media for you to play. Internet based content publishers are pushing the content to this device in your home. Content includes any media RSS feeds and other methods using search engines to find and download media.
When you sit down to watch some video on your TV, you will have the option to play what you have stored locally or retrieve new content from new channels. VOD in either case.
The audience pulls, publishers push. Its the digital way. Its the DV revolution, in our case.
