Subject: New Broadcast Technology at Broadcast World 2002, 27 Feb Sydney
This is to request comments, content and corrections for my talk on "New
Broadcast Technology" at Broadcast World 2002, Wednesday 27th February
2002, Sydney: http://www.tomw.net.au/2002/nbt.html
OUTLINE: Free-to-air and pay-TV operators are making the same mistakes
which bankrupted many Internet companies. New technological capabilities do
not guarantee a return on investment. Lessons can be learned from the
failure of WAP to provide a viable web service on a mobile telephone and
the success of the simpler i-mode technology. There are lessons to be
learned by the broadcasting industry in middleware development, operational
rollout, video-on-demand and storage when implementing Internet based
technologies, such as MHP and TeleWeb.
Please note that these are just speaking notes for a brief talk in a panel
session, not a full formal paper. As other speakers are broadcasting
industry types, I feel that I am obliged to stir them up, on behalf of the
Internet community. ;-)
