…my theory is that network is not the answer to distribution. I think it’s going to be about tablets, and I think it’s going to be about streaming. I think it’s going to be all the other ways to get your 3-D because the network paradigm is too mired in the past. These guys just aren’t paying attention.
The other thing is that people are streaming their movies and television to a tablet, then it’s auto-stereoscopic. You don’t need glasses. So if you’re sitting on a bus, sitting on a plane, sitting in the park or in your room and you’re watching something on a single user screen and you don’t need glasses, you can toggle back and forth between 2-D and 3-D content, no problem.

I don’t think that’s automatically true – iPads have a pretty wide viewing angle, and I certainly prop mine up on the kitchen table and use it as a little group TV from time to time. But it makes a lot of sense. And if we’re going to get 3D tablet displays, the business applications could be pretty interesting; it’s not all about movies and games.
