Comcast’s Roberts: 3D Is Not the Future of 24-7 TV
Story Highlights
Comcast Chairman Brian Roberts said the company is committed to 3D content, but he remains skeptical that 3D TV will catch on in the same fashion as HD TV.
In a Q&A session with the Wall Street Journal‘s Alan Murray at a Congressional Internet Caucus event, Roberts said he believes the bandwidth challenges that 3D presents were a good opportunity because it means somebody wants something. He also said most viewers would have 3D-capable devices in their homes in the next 10 years and is excited about the rather minimal price differential vs. a traditional TV.
However, Roberts also said that he was still not convinced that “we want to sit there all day long [watching 3D]. The question is, are you going to want to sit there and wear glasses four hours a day to watch TV. I don’t think so.”
