TV to become web like - IPTV
IPTV - TV that's
beamed over the net - is set to become the next
big thing for boggle-eyed couch potatoes
everywhere. Within the next ten years, you
won't have to leg it home early to settle down
and watch the latest instalment of Eastenders or
Corrie. Instead, you'll be able to stay out all
night and watch it whenever you like.
That's because TV shows won't just be broadcast
over cable, satellite or via an aerial, they'll
be accessible via broadband networks.

Sky by Broadband shows internet television
promise
The Sky by Broadband service uses the same
underlying peer-to-peer distribution technology
as the BBC integrated Media Player, but offers a
consistently coherent consumer proposition with
far superior navigation. Sky has also beaten the
BBC with the launch of their broadband service
while the public service broadcaster is still
conducting a limited trial, as William Cooper
reports for informitv in this extended review.

The next generation of TV?
Bill Gates vision for next
generation television
Bill Gates says that the next generation of
interactive television services “completely
blows open any of the limitations that channels
used to create” and “blows away the previous
video platform”.
The chairman of Microsoft took the opportunity
of his keynote presentation at the Consumer
Electronics Show in Las Vegas to talk about the
increasing influence of software in the living
room on what he called the decade of digital
lifestyles.
