DIAL In Your Roku

The latest news from Roku is that they are going to adopt support for a fledgling standard called DIAL. According to The Verge, they will bring a Chromecast like ability to the already bountiful video experience offered by Roku.

This is a great move by Roku, an example of the need to assume your competitors strengths before they can assume yours (Most often cited between Netflix and HBO). Next on the list should probably be to counter the downward movement of games consoles like the Wii Mini or PS Vita TV.
