A comprehensive editorial was featured on RedNova discussing the implications of Internet Television and how it will reach into our lives and change everything as we know it today.

To that point, the article discusses the changes of lifestyle this new technology will offer us. No longer will we be:

• faced with a limited number of TV channels.
• forced to watch what the stations deliver to us.
• limited to location specific TV offerings.

The future IPTV offers us the diversity of watching what we want, when we want, and where you want (pending your Internet connection can deliver). “Because of the immense choice, the new internet televisions will need special software to help viewers select the content that interests them from the ocean of programs on offer.”



In addition to developing the revelation we will soon be faced with, the article also explains how Bill Gates and the Microsoft machine have been working towards this end for a decade. They’ve immersed themselves in the future technology and knew that a convergence between computer technology and television broadcasting was inevitable. Microsoft has already created the software that will provide the front-end for Internet television viewers. They’ve already reached several agreements with broadband companies around the country and world who will leverage their software.

Not only will our world be turned upside down, the former media and broadcasting companies also face a challenge if they are to succeed in the upcoming years. “The reason few people outside the computing and communications industries are aware of a technology that is about to transform everybody's' lives is that providers are holding fire on. IPTV has the potential to blow big content suppliers like Sky out of the water. IPTV will also make the concept of traditional television advertising redundant, as few viewers will opt to watch ad breaks when they have absolute control over what they watch.”
