      New Opportunities in Digital Media,  Internet Television

 

       Are all the dreams of digital convergence from the boom days of the nineties becoming the stuff that this century's Web is made of? The Internet Protocol (IP) is gobbling up everything: mail, shopping, banking, music, voice.

 

      Television is next. Internet TV is becoming a reality because of a convergence of trends: the onward march of digital media innovation and the expansion of advertising markets. Think about it: Thousands of channels meticulously target-marketed and interactive. The content and advertising possibilities are endless.

 

       We are about to witness a revolution in the video industry. There has been a radical democratization of video production. The advent of low-cost hardware and software tools has utterly transformed the video industry. The ability to create videos has reached mass scale and Main Street. We are going to be inundated by a volcanic flow of content. Where will it all go? The next step should be obvious to anyone who's been paying attention.

 

       It's the brave new world of digital convergence finally dawning: Internet TV. The trends are gathering like the clouds of a perfect storm: Broadband, low-cost video production, video search engines, one-to-one advertising, wireless home networks, rich media formats, and mobile devices capable of carrying Internet and video.

 

      The explosion of Internet video and the integration of TV and the Internet will spawn a full range of early-stage opportunities, from production through distribution to advertising and search to subscription services.
