>Video on the internet was not a popular thing until we had broadband internet.

I think it's an example of a post hoc fallacy. The popularity of video was in large part responsible for the investment into broadband in the first place.

A big driver for investment was the idea of 'internet tv'. Remember MSN TV?
Wasnt it sort of a lockstep evolution, like how symbiotic systems can evolve together?
