FIRSTCLASS IPTV MOVIE
The vision has been of two-way, interactive TV that has the digital agility of the computer, but the display quality of a movie theater that can be summoned on-demand.Ī single device would be a multimedia source of news, information, and entertainment. That’s a little like riding on a train and having to move from first class to coach class at the border.įor years visionaries have predicted that the future of television was, in fact, not really television at all, or at least not the television we have all been used to, but rather something more like the computer. To watch cable, you would have to watch it on your old set, or employ a converter that dissipates much of the resolution advantage of digital transmission. And if you buy a digital TV, it probably won’t work with your cable TV. Where broadcast digital TV is available, it is not yet carried on cable. But the rules where conduit defined content have been rewritten by digitization.Ĭonduit no longer defines content the lines of competition and regulation have been blurred, and new consumer electronics devices are blended versions of the old.īut in one area digital technology has yet to fully take hold: And that’s television. In the old world, services like television and cable and telephone constituted different ways of delivering different products. Quite a change from my days growing up when interactive television was when my mom yelled at me to turn down the TV set.īut today I want to talk about the real interactive television, and about its future. I was touring the exhibit floor this morning and I saw some innovative examples of interactive television. I am delighted to be at the Consumer Electronics Show. Thank you, Gary, for that kind introduction.
