Re: OT (or maybe not) - Harris to sell Broadcast Business

Interesting that it seems your post is the first one that even alludes to the implications to the much vaunted place "Broadcast Professional" holds in much of the arguments on this list.

When big gamers bow out of what was once their brand identity (at least as I see it - Harris = Broadcast) it really does mean something. Possibly, a consolidation of hardware as market conditions change. Demand declines at least relative to other opportunities.

Again it doesn't mean there's a decline in the size and needs of the broadcast industry, it's just that the expansion in other forms of content creation and distribution results in broadcast being a smaller niche with much less growth opportunity.
