Internet TV
Keynote Presented by Kevin Hell, CEO, DivX
The television’s role as a multimedia access platform will grow considerably with Internet connections linking it to online content. So, as Internet Connected HDTVs and CE devices become mainstream, an opportunity emerges that prompts questions to Content Providers and CE manufacturers about scale and business models. This makes it clear that there is a need for a platform that allows for over the top delivery of Online Content, and which provides the opportunity to experiment with different business models across several content categories.
