Broadband Video: Redefining the Television Experience

Summary

As the Internet finds its way to the primary home TV, consumers are looking to the Internet for content, much of which will be available on-demand and specifically suited to their tastes.

This topic paper provides an overview of the various types of Internet video now available and describes how Internet video will soon find its way from the PC monitor to TV screen. It also discusses several of the methods to help 'bridge' the gap between home broadband connection and television set.

A larger view is found in the report, Broadband Video: Redefining the Television Experience. It explores in detail how many broadband-enabled televisions will actually be connected to the Internet and used to receive broadband video. Further, the report discusses the types of video services that will be launched from the Internet targeting the television and includes specific revenue estimates for these services.

Market dBrief™ Excerpt:

With the recent flood of Internet-based video content, it is fair to say that the transition of open video delivery is well underway. Put another way, the incumbent PayTV operators and major broadcasters are losing their grip on the types of video programming to which consumers have access - a sure sign of what we call 'the democratization of video delivery.'
