8|14|12   |   1:46   |   2 comments

Employees can now use their home TVs to hold videoconferences with their colleagues. Logitech has introduced a new Webcam that plugs into a TV and does not need a local PC to hold a videoconference.

Streaming Video Requires an Ecosystem
8|8|12   |   2:19   |   3 comments

What do Apple TV, Google TV, Netflix, and Apple's tossing YouTube from iOS have in common? They prove that streaming video success is dependent on two things, a solid linkage to TV and an ecosystem surrounding the video to mine margins and profits for the provider.

Netflix Learns a Lesson
7|27|12   |   2:08   |   7 comments

Netflix seemed to be a threat to all of TV, but with the current quarterly earnings report, it sure doesn't look as if that's true now. Netflix really proves that even Internet viewing of video isn't immune to profit and other business issues. This is a lesson we need to learn if we want a viable online video model.

Let's Play a Game!

Game consoles people get as gifts this holiday may become the set-top boxes of the future. They may also become the basis for a new generation of entertainment and collaboration. They may also cook you dinner. Or not.

Collaboration & Spherical Stupidity
2|24|10   |   2:12   |   18 comments

A recent scandal involving a school's use of remotely activated Webcams to locate lost or stolen laptops may portend, not only legal action against the school, but also a loss of trust in video that is critical to developing video collaboration over the Internet.

Online Video’s 'Three Thirds' Problem
2|16|10   |   2:13   |   6 comments

Free online video was supposed to kill cable. But research shows most people are getting less interested in replacing cable with online video – not more. There are three reasons why, says Tom Nolle.

The Gateway to Consumers
1|20|10   |   3:48   |   9 comments

Broadband providers could provide some remarkable services using intelligent home gateways. But if they wait too long, device makers will offer them anyway, and make broadband even more of a commodity.

What's New in IPTV? Apps Perhaps
1|19|10   |   4:20   |   No comments

No one's making a killing writing mobile apps, but it's a big deal that AT&T is opening its U-verse platform for application developers. Also, I reveal my "fantasy apps," in case any developers are watching.

Saunders is wrong on Hulu, Fritz thinks. By most measures it's been a success, and there's no reason this model won't become even bigger in the next three years. Oh, and he hates Steve's hat.

Comparison Shopping for Broadband – Or Not

Comparing Internet services is tough because service providers price and market their services based on a best-case scenario connection that most consumers will never enjoy.

In 2010, telecom executives should put their words into action when it comes to their Internet development strategies and, um... hire a bunch of children. Or so says our European correspondent.

Better Web Video & the End of Net Neutrality

Total Telephony Transcends Telepresence
11|20|09   |   2:11   |   6 comments

The problem with telepresence is that it's not universally accepted, because video calling isn't. While we can all do video calling, we also apparently worry too much about how we look. If we want HD telepresence in our future, we have to dress down, mess up our hair, and dive into our online life.

The New Information Divide: Part 3
Part 3 of 3   |   See complete series
11|6|09   |   1:46   |   No comments

A digital content market is emerging. Only two things are known about it: the first is that at some point the Internet will primarily become a paid network. The second known factor is that there are innumerable variables in the digital content market that have yet to be worked out. It’s not known, for example, exactly how users will pay for content (micropayments, subscriptions, bartering of farm animals, other).

Good news! The cost of Internet infrastructure, services, and access devices has been plummeting at an accelerating rate over the last 10 years and will approach a point in the next 20 years where these technologies become so fantastically cheap that ubiquitous, low-cost, high-speed networks, storage, and access devices will effectively eliminate the digital divide for most of the world's population.

Personal Mobile TV Makes Its Debut
10|14|09   |   2:28   |   7 comments

Mobile TV is everywhere, and yet, nowhere. Nobody uses it – because the handsets aren't good, the pricing is too high, and the coverage is not good enough. But Qualcomm's FloTV Personal TV aims to change all of that.

M2M: Rise of the Machines? Not Yet
David Weldon
In the 1970 science fiction thriller Colossus: The Forbin Project, two giant supercomputers from the United States and Soviet Union secretly join forces to take control of the collective nuclear might of the two countries. In the film, the two machines discover each other's existence, communicate back-and-forth, share their collective data, and cut their human creators out of the process. It is the ultimate example of machine-to-machine communications, or M2M.
