The transformation of television that began with the VCR and gained significant momentum with TiVo is now accelerating dramatically with “on-demand” cable, video search and IPTV. Billions of dollars are at stake, and a complex and competitive landscape is also starting to emerge. It includes traditional media companies (News Corp., Viacom), Internet search engines and portals (America Online, Google, Yahoo!), telcos (BellSouth, SBC, Verizon) and the cable companies themselves (Comcast, Cox Communications). Why is all this happening now? While there was a great deal of hype in the 1990s about TV-Internet convergence, or “interactive TV,” previous attempts failed in part because of low broadband penetration, costly storage and inferior video-streaming technologies.
