the future of pop machines

the hotel TV inflection point

we're at an interesting point of time right now from a hotel TV point-of-view ... every now and then you'll still get a room with tube TVs in the US, although flat panels predominate.

in 5 years, i doubt you'll see tubes anywhere in the states.
