Death knell for TV networks?

Mike Yamamoto writes in the C|Net News Blogma:

Legal or not, the march of television into the file-sharing world is inevitable. But once again, the major television networks are barely visible in this changing landscape, even though Comcast and other established players in the business are engaging in high-profile experiments with the medium. And even if the networks do play catch-up, they already face an alarming decline in the prime-time attention span of younger viewers.

Most of the strides toward this pivotal evolutionary step have been made in public television, by PBS in the United States and the BBC in the United Kingdom. All of which begs the question: Is it only a matter of time before the Big Three networks become extinct?
