The Great Internet TV Race

The E-Commerce Times in a two part series, examine how digital content distribution is changing the nature of the television industry.

"It will also look at some of the challenges facing established players and new technologically driven market entrants, as well as the state of the market as the evolution of triple- and quad-play media services continues.

The interactivity of the Internet, the emergence of DVR (digital video recorder) technologies, easier access to wired and wireless broadband services, and the development of digital network distribution formats for streaming multimedia content are forces that are combining to provide viewers with more choice.

Entertainment executives aware of these trends are wasting no time; they are outlining ways to change the nature of their TV content. Ditto for the business models that broadcast and cable network TV companies have been able to rely on for so long. To put it mildly, the TV and film industries are in the midst of a major shakeup."
