Broadband-TV represents a fundamental shift in the way television programming is delivered. The control of which programs and content are available to watch will move out of the hands of the traditional broadcasters and into the hands of the viewer.

The widespread availability of high speed Internet connections and ongoing advances in video compression technology will soon make possible a viewing experience equal in visual quality to that of broadcast television – enhanced by the convenience of on-demand delivery and interactive features not possible with conventional broadcasting.

The once-exclusive monopoly that broadcasters and governments have held over the licensing of television services and regulation of content has been broken.

The future now belongs for those who are the most innovative at identifying new audience niches – and those who are the most adept at creating new broadband services to reach those audiences.
