With an eye on the future, Informitv is a website which focuses on interactive, mobile and broadband based television broadcasts. This site offers a feed into the latest news on this subject such as the BBC’s and ITV’s collaboration in producing multicast streams on the Internet, in high quality audio and visual, of their respective channels. This site also offers such information as forthcoming events, prospective jobs, essential reports as well as a glossary of terms. It is a very simple site to navigate around but a very useful one for staying on par with the current situation without having to hunt very far.
A very interesting press release on this site entitled “Broadband beats broadcast in network television revolution” hi-lights the potential reasons why the revolution we are currently seeing will soon be in favour of the Internet generation. For more information on this please refer to the report ‘IPTV: Broadband meets broadcast – The Network television revolution’ which is priority reading for anyone interested in the future of telvision. You do have to order this report however, and so as soon as mine has arrived I shall no doubt be adding my thoughts upon it to this blog.
Please note IPTV is an acronym for Internet Protocol Television, something we will no doubt be stumbling on a lot more throughout this research. It covers all of the digital and other audio and visual services which may be provided over a broadband connection.
Informitv should therefore be a ‘favorite’ for anyone who is interested in this field of study or research.
