From epic changes such as those caused by the advent of the Internet come two totally different, equally valid, reactions from businesses: This is an opportunity; this is scary.

Media, movie, music and TV companies have a ton of opportunities and challenges dead ahead. The plot keeps thickening, says IBM Corp. consulting partner Saul Berman in this recent interview with IBD.

At the same time, it can be a very positive future. But companies must create a more open environment. People are putting content online in a more pervasive fashion, whether it's (IBM client) Napster with music or TV broadcasters dealing with affiliates.

IBD: What do you mean by pervasive?
