Save TV From/With Broadband

from the more-than-a-boob-tube dept

A recent survey in Europe has suggested that the rise of broadband use is causing people to watch less TV. If the trend continues, TV networks will probably have to adapt by using broadband connections to make TV more engaging to audiences. The ground has already been broken with people voting for contestants in reality shows like American Idol. Next, it's just a matter of making TV even more interactive (and not just "enhanced"), by incorporating the creative use of digital communication (email, IM, video capture, etc).

Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.

Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.

While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.

–The Techdirt Team

    Bah

    Who cares about interactivity. I want good quality webcasts from around the world. My cable has only 40 channels and only a few are in English, French or Spanish.
