The distribution system is many to many -- it can't be controlled as
to who enters (many). While the dissapearing broadcast of one (LA
studio and NY production offices) to many (affiliate stations) is
disseapearing. Products like Intel's viiv (
http://www.intel.com/products/viiv/ ) will be delivering media from
the internet directly to television sets, bypassing local stations and
cable systems. This will replace over air and cable broadcasting one
to many broadcasting.

It is not the issue -- web media becoming "TV". Blogs have become
diverse and not "newspapers". And podcasting emerged on it's own with
a diversity of formats from those similar to radio to divergent. The
nature of an unrestricted many to many system cannot be determined to
be one form, but emerges from the participants on it's own.
The issue is governmental regulation that would impose law
restrictions on the many to many distribution of the internet and try
to insert a one to many method that is being proposed in the EU, US
Congress by Telecoms and such.
