Broadband Killed the Video Star
Two relevant stories on the
Register:
"
Broadband killed the TV star": In a survey of 800 Europeans, 56 percent have cut down on TV time since subscribing to broadband.
"
TV: coming to a mobile near you": Digitenne and Nokia are testing TV signals on mobile handsets.
Put them together and you find an interesting trend. We -- or at least the surveyed Europeans -- are turning away from broadcast media to interactive media, but at the same time we want our interactive media to handle broadcasts. Now look at what has happened in
my household. Ever since we put in the WiFi network at home, TV time has actually gone up: My wife likes to surf
while watching TV, and often looks up information relevant to the broadcast. Is there a market here?
Oh, here's one more
Register story. It sounds like a personal ad: "
Scientist seeks alien cloud-dwelling bug." Don't we all.
