Paramount HD DVD payoff mentioned in Viacom financials

[sj001]

I will say with a great deal of confidence that Blu-ray will have the same levels of success as DVD. People are in the process of converting over to digital and HDTV sets, and now that there is one format, the snowball will start rolling faster, getting bigger and bigger. There is NO other format out there right now to compete, and there will not be for the foreseeable future, forget Digital Downloads, it will not compete for a very long time. I'll be an old man by the time the infrastructure is in place for all of the ISPs to offer the kind of bandwidth required for that.

Good article find by the way Max!
