SPONS AGENCY National Science Foundation, Washington, D.C. REPORT NO M-73-40 PUB DATE Mar 73 NOTE 62p.; Paper presented at the Seminar on the Promise of Cable and Satellite Communications EDRS PRICE MF-$0.65 HC-$3.29 DESCRIPTORS *Cable Television; Communication *Computers; Information Needs; Information F zieval; Information Storage; Information Systems; Interaction; *Man Machine systems; *Metropolitan Areas; State of the Art Reviews; *Telecommunication; Urban Areas IDENTIFIERS Broadband Communications; CATV; Wideband Cable ABSTRACT During the present decade cable television (CATV) systems will be franchised in most metropolitan areas of the nation. Previously, CATV has mainly transmitted over-the-air broadcast signals to small communities, but in the urban setting the capabilities of wideband cable (e.g., 30 channels per cable) can be expanded and applied to new communication needs. First, however, CATV must outgrow its identity as a retransmitter and become the medium for delivering a wide range of broadband communications services. Linked with computers, interactive cable systems can serve social, cultural, civic, education, governmental, business and commercial interests. The utility and importance of interactive CATV systems stem from the follcwing characteristics: 1) they are individualized and respond instantly, privately, and economically to the user's needs; 2) they are computerized, offering search and calculation capabilities otherwise not available; 3) they provide unlimited points of entry aLd delivery of information, in addition to controlled storage, access, and retrieval; and 4) they are multimedia, encompassing video, audio, graphics, pictures, and alphanumeric text, and offer the potential of a common carrier between people.

Internet connectivity in the US is a hot-button issue in 2017, thanks to the new FCC chairman performing an about-face on issues like net neutrality, subsidizing access for the poor, and permitting internet service providers (ISPs) to do what they please with your data. None of it bodes well. This comes as the speeds in our tests remain relatively stagnant. Despite cable companies—the major broadband providers in the US—rolling out more and more of the latest high-end modems to customers to increase speeds, and the advent https://www.pcmag.com/article/353936/the-fastest-isps-of-2017 1/21 9/4/2017 The Fastest ISPs of 2017 | PCMag.com of more and more ber-to-the-home (or to-the-premises) coverage in select areas, it's not having much impact, on average. On the world stage, the US isn't even close to the top 10 countries when it comes to average broadband speed. Maybe it's because there is far too much happening on the mergers and acquisitions end of things for domestic ISPs to even pretend to be competitive in ways that matter; you know, the little things, like speed and customer service.

  • Mixed Reality Technologies for Immersive Interactive Broadcast
    MIXED REALITY TECHNOLOGIES FOR IMMERSIVE INTERACTIVE BROADCAST O. Schreer1, W. Waizenegger1, W. Fernando2, H. Kodikara Arachchi2, A. Oehme3, A. Smolic4, B. Yargicoglu5, A. Akman5, U. Curjel6 1Fraunhofer HHI, Germany; 2University of Surrey, UK; 3HFC Human- Factors-Consult, Germany; 4Disney Research Zurich, Switzerland; 5Argela, Turkey; 6SRF, Switzerland ABSTRACT Up until now, TV has been a one-to-many proposition apart from a few exceptions. The TV Stations produced and packaged their shows and the consumers had to tune in at a specific time to watch their favourite show. However, new technologies are changing the way we watch and produce television programs. For example, viewers often use second screen applications and are engaged in lively discussions via social media channels while watching TV. Nevertheless, immediate live interaction with broadcast media is still not possible. In this paper, the latest results of the European funded project ACTION-TV, which is developing novel forms of user interaction based on advanced Computer Vision and Mixed-Reality technologies, are presented. The aim of this research project is to let viewers actively participate in pre-produced live-action television shows. This expands the horizon of the interactive television concept towards engaging television shows. The paper explains the concept, challenges and solutions resulting in a first prototype real-time demonstrator for novel interactive TV services. INTRODUCTION ACTION-TV [1] proposes an innovative mode of user interaction for broadcasting to relax the rigid and passive nature of present broadcasting ecosystems. It has two key aims: (i) a group of users can take part in TV shows providing a sense of immersion into the show and seamless natural engagement with the content; (ii) users are encouraged to use TV shows as a means of social engagement while keeping themselves and their talents more visible across social circles.

Glasgow Theses Service http://theses.gla.ac.uk/ [email protected] Enforcement and Regulation in Relation to TV Broadcasting in Pakistan Muhammad Abrar Submitted for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy School of Law College of Social Sciences University of Glasgow November 2012 Abstract Abstract In 2002, private broadcasters started their own TV transmissions after the creation of the Pakistan Electronic Media Authority. This thesis seeks to identify the challenges to the Pakistan public and private electronic media sectors in terms of enforcement. Despite its importance and growth, there is a lack of research on the enforcement and regulatory supervision of the electronic media sector in Pakistan. This study examines the sector and identifies the action required to improve the current situation. To this end, it focuses on five aspects: (i) Institutional arrangements: institutions play a key role in regulating the system properly. (ii) Legislative and regulatory arrangements: legislation enables the electronic media system to run smoothly.

PUB DATE Apr 93 NOTE 20p.; Paper presented at the Arinual Convention of the Broadcast Education Association (Las Vegas, NV, April 16-18, 1993). PUB TYPE Reports Descriptive (141) Speeches/Conference Papers (150) EDRS PRICE MF01/PC01 Plus Postage. DESCRIPTORS Advertising; Audience Response; *Broadcast Television; Business; Cable Television; Case Studies; *Communications Satellites; Foreign Countries; *Government Role; *International Law; Legislation; Problems IDENTIFIERS *Asia; Government Regulation; India; *International Broadcasting ABSTRACT Star TV, the first international satellite broadcast system in Asia, has had a profound effect on national broadcasting systems, most of which are rigidly controlled, state owned monopoly organizations. The purpose of this paper was to study theresponse of national governments, media industries, and the general publicto this multichannel direct broadcast service. India is usedas a case study because it is generally representative of Asian national broadcast environments and has been specially targeted asa potential market for Star TV's services. Public response to the service has been enthusiastic. Industry has mainly viewed itas a short-term, money-making opportunity. Governments, however, perceive Star TVas a commercial/economic enterprise, and their policyresponses have also been governed by this perception. Efforts made by governmentsso far have been either to strengthen domestic broadcast systems,or to control cable systems that function as carriers for satellite signals. No attempt has been made to apply the provisions of international law which guarantee nations the right of prior consultation and consent to satellite broadcastingor to evolve supranational regional regulatory frameworks.
