Internet TV
The Future of Television and Communication
More and more, our mobile society is consuming media via the Internet and mobile devices. One such broadcast method that broadcasters are successfully employing is Internet TV. Internet TV is the delivery of professionally produced media over the public Internet and is usually viewed on a PC, laptop, or mobile device. Its advent represents a disruptive transformation that completely alters the broadcast landscape - technically, economically, and culturally. Perhaps the most important aspect is the economic change. The cost for a content owner or aggregator to deliver a new channel to a broadly dispersed audience has been reduced by many orders of magnitude using Internet TV as compared with IPTV, cable, satellite, and terrestrial broadcast methods.
The advantages of Internet TV go further than capital expenditure savings. It is the ideal mode for broadcasters, local affiliates and advertisers who have longed for a model where audiences can be effectively measured and segmented. Networks/studios, narrowcasters, content delivery networks, enterprises and government entities are all discovering the growth and strategic benefits that come with Internet TV, such as:
- Expanding reach to grow audiences
- Reaching audiences directly and interactively
- Engaging customers more deeply through rich media communications
- Repurposing television ads for the Web
- Savings from the cost barriers associated with traditional broadcast distribution systems
- Expanding video conferencing reach to large audiences
- Delivery of training content instantly, on-demand, to any location
- Delivering executive messaging to internal and external audiences
