Chrome supports both h264 and ogg theora for the video tag. I think the browser upgrade thing is key to takeup of this. Too many people still have older version browsers. But in the meantime, hopefully it'll get used by more & more people doing cool interactive experiments. I guess the other thing that will have an impact is what kind of browsers and interfaces are built into internet TV sets and set-top-boxes.
