Whatching the Internet: the future of tv
José M . Alvarez-MonzoncilloThe expectation that television would be distributed predominantly over the Internet rather than through the air has been mooted along with the rise of the Internet itself, and now the mobile Internet. Broadband infrastructures being rolled out around the world are premised on this assumption. The business reality of television is that Internet TV has emerged from the early 2000s as a competing delivery infrastructure to HD terrestrial, satellite, cable and mobile TV systems. Delivery systems include Internet protocol (IPTV) and videoon-demand (VoD) variants over managed network infrastructures.
