There has been speculation that companies like Apple have been reluctant to introduce video products for the living room because they don't want to have to pay TiVo royalties, or wind up being sued by TiVo if they don't.
"Now that you see many states restructuring their electric industries and allowing more competition, you're going to see more of these companies come into those communities and sell their products, like solar or wind or other renewable energies, " he said.
That's why it's so important to train our folks more effectively and that's why it's so important for us to find new industries -- building solar panels or wind turbines or the new biofuel -- that involve these higher-value, higher-skill, higher-paying jobs.
Apple ( AAPL - news - people ) have been reluctant to introduce video products for the living room because they don't want to have to pay TiVo royalties, or wind up being sued by TiVo if they don't.
