The BBC have another article, 'Broadband challenges TV viewing' about how internet use, in particular broadband use, is impacting upon peoples television viewing habits.

In homes with broadband, 40% said they were spending less time watching TV.

The threat to TV was greatest in countries where broadband was on the up, in particular the UK, France and Spain, said the report.

It said TV companies faced a major long-term threat over the next five years, with broadband predicted to grow from 19% to 37% of households by 2009.

None of this is even remotely suprising, I'd be shocked if most TV companies hadn't been planning for a more web enabled future for many years.
