Internet television for common people

New internet televisions do not have high budgets so they need audience in order to make profit. Therefore, it is said that the purpose of internet televisions is not, at least at their beginning, to educate common people. Somebody said that the amount of intelligence in the world was constant, whereas the number of people was increasing, continuously and rapidly. Therefore, most internet televisions have a political role and in many countries, politics does not really want to educate people, as an educated nation becomes difficult to manipulate and to control. Moreover, low quality movies are cheaper.

If movies broadcast by internet television were high quality ones, people would not go to the cinema and would not buy any DVDs anymore. Besides, cultural or scientific programs do not have many sponsors because their audience is not high. Then, what does internet television offer? Are all their programs addressed to audience having an IQ under the average?

Well, that is not true, as internet television can as well provide instructive programs related to domains of general interest like health, psychology, music for all tastes, movies for all tastes, culture, gastronomy, or social life. Actually, you can find everything you want on internet television, according to your educational background, from sport to artistic movies, from explicit sex to sites dedicated to religious education.

Nowadays you can find people of real value working in the domain of internet television and really trying to leave something precious behind them, irrespective of the category of people who click on their television site.

Recently, at the international salon of electronic products (IFA) in Berlin experts have presented three-dimensional television, which appears to be the future of the television, even a near future. Television was an invention of the 20^th century.

Many people say that it is outdated and the 21^st century belongs for sure to the internet. This does not mean that traditional television will simply disappear from our everyday life. However, it will change, in order to keep the alert rhythm of modern life. Studies show that people watch less television while they prefer to search the web. In order to survive, television must fusion with the internet.

The internet, the television of the future

Any computer owner who has internet connection can say goodbye now to boredom. This is possible thanks to the access to the television via internet. There are some countries where this service can be performed by two kids who know how to program computers.

Therefore, you have now the opportunity to watch television programs directly on the screen of your computer. There are a few families now who do not have a television, or who do not have access to the internet.

For example in student hostels, the internet is more popular than the television; therefore, internet television is most welcome. We do not talk about television channels which broadcast only online, neither about the use of the TV Tuner.

Internet television is only a simple alternative to static television, as laptop owners connected via wireless to the internet can watch MTV 2, for example, on the move. There are such services available in different countries.

We would have to wait only for one year

Although for now this hypothesis may belong to science fiction movies, Finnish researchers claim that plans may become reality in only one year. The Finnish company Teleste may trigger a real revolution in the domain of broadband, and the average speed of data transfer supported by TV cable networks is to grow more than 50 times. However, in order to justify all these promises, the company has offered few details, trying probably to create first an advertising flux, which can attract more and more curious people.

Obviously, any offer, which promises great download speeds and browsing at broadband standards under the conditions in which is not necessary to invest huge amounts of money, sounds very good and the global tendency to adopt broadband connections, becomes more and more clearly highlighted.

It is known however that this solution offered by Teleste is based on a system, called Virtual Fiber. It is included in the cable provided by the television operator and makes the connection with an Ethernet source, which can assure the transfer of 10-20 or even 30 MBps, amount necessary for video programs broadband. Now the technology is to be tested within a project developed by Teleste together with a Hollandaise cable television operator.

The Ethernet signal is assured without involving a modem or any active device in the house and the user only has to connect the computer to the branch point, which includes both connectors for TV signal and for the internet. The same branching point divides the mixed signal in different streams for cable television and internet.

Internet advertizing on your TV

Media Sales Time Warner Cable is going to elaborate a digital platform, which will allow TV advertisers to promote their products and services online. Media Sales Time Warner has asked assistance from the live company Oak Interactive in order to build up a new digital platform, which will allow the use of television advertizing on the internet as well. Andy Meadows, the executive of Interactive Live Oak has declared that this platform will help online advertisers to use their video advertisements within the television space.

The service, which has no name now, is to be released in September and it will be used for the beginning on two markets in the USA, then regionally and nationally if it is successful. The initiative Cable Media Time Warner Sales belongs to the tendency of media companies to build up a system of posting video and audio ads both on traditional media supports and on the internet. At the beginning of this month, Spot Runner, the operator of an online platform who used to offer local advertisers the possibility to make and release video ads during TV programs has increased his investment with 32 million dollars in order to extend his business .

Media Exchange SoftWave company which offers the advertisers the possibility to purchase broadcast space from radio or television channels via an online interface, has recently announced its first important partnership with the advertising agency Zimmerman Advertising, belonging to Omnicom Group.

The television of the future is right here

More than one thousand participants at the media fair in Amsterdam have done their best in order to prove the 40,000 visitors awaited that we, humans are actually farther than we imagine from the technique and science point of view. Of course, we can imagine that we can get even farther.

IBC, which stands for, International Broadcasting Convention, is held every year in the autumn, in Amsterdam, at RAI Congress Centre, at it gathers almost everything in the world related to creation, technology and media distribution, culminating with internet television opportunities..
For a visitor who has no knowledge in the area, the impression can be overwhelming. However, there may be professionals too, who may be impressed at least by the outcome of their competitors! We can say that there usually are some outstanding stalls belonging to experts, to great companies, whose demonstrations are live, are animated, where you can take part in conferences and enjoy cocktails according to the budget of each participant.

In addition, participants have offered plenty of promotional materials from a lollipop to personalized boxes of chocolates or the popular anti stress ball. By the way, even IBC companies must manage the problem of daily stress. Maybe internet television facilities can offer a helping hand in this case.

Great expectations have been directed towards HD television, in the domain of broadcasting. You can see at the fair in Amsterdam exciting demonstrations concerning the production of programs in HD, their transmission, distribution and even their storage so that you are more and more convinced that high dimension television is not a science fiction approach. And internet television can replace soon your old TV programs.

The future of the television is online

If it is online, it is internet and if it is on TV, this television is a normal one? We do not want to create confusion, but we want to tell you some opinions concerning internet television. First, the greatest problem of the television, in its competition with the internet is lack of bidirectional communication (there are some trials in Italy where users can vote via remote control during different programs which use this facility).

Here is how we can see the solution of this problem through a video transmission protocol, using the internet connection. Thus, via the same wire can be received data, together with the broadcast itself. The televisions of the future could offer the user the possibility to address questions live to a person who is invited in a program, to create your own program and to watch a program whenever you want.

Now the problem is represented by internet connections, which in general are not quick enough in order to allow the watching of a high quality video stream, at least in some areas of different countries of the world. However, there are televisions, which do not consider problems. Their focus can be on simple approaches, like games, IT news, and even a little media.

They may appeal to gamers all over the world because it is necessary guidance considering the multitude of games released on market. After online television becomes an everyday reality, you have to purchase a proper remote control in order to enjoy your comfort.
