In the midst of Q2 earnings season, and after the upfront season has passed, blip.tv’s announcements seem to be a watershed moment for broadband t.v. If greater video syndication and ad monitoring follow content to a broader array of platforms, and a New York-based start-up is making this statement, haven’t we seen the moment that “Big Media” has capitulated to the independent digital video industry? Who needs (the new) AOL or YouTube, even, if the new packagers and media scouts are getting it all done in SoHo (read: not Mountain View)? This is the post-dotcom bubble crash’s ultimate comeuppance, almost a decade on — that New York has rightfully claimed its superior position in the new media landscape (note to Silicon Valley: you need “media” in order to have a “new media” industry).
