IP-TV Programming
July 13th, 2005 Posted in Web-based Services
PBS plans to Webcast-only NerdTV, a downloadable series featuring interviews with technology “experts”. The show will be hosted by PBS technology columnist Robert Cringely. NerdTV viewers will be allowed to redistribute shows or edit them for non-commercial reasons. Is this the future of TV? Maybe. At the very least, Tivo has shown that couch potatos want more control over what they watch and when they do it. Delivering television - and movies, for that matter, over the Internet poses all kinds of licensing issues but it is an efficient and effective way to distribute programming.
