The Evolving World of Television • Convergence… of television, computers, & telecommunications, resulting in interactivemultimedia … Television may become incomplete without the Internet… every TV show will have an Internet component • PVRs… are changing viewing habits. Fixed-time, channel differentiated (except news) programming may well cease to exist.
Future Technologies Home Fileserver Controlling: • Television • Telephone • Internet and… • “Smart Appliances” Interactive Multimedia Fixed-time, channel- differentiated content will disappear, replaced by VOD
With only a television signal… How the hell are you ever gonna know how Winkie Dink got over that river? In the future, every TV show will have an Internet component.

The future of IFE is connectivity. The future of IFE is VOD. The future of IFE is interactive multimedia. The future of IFE is server-based not cassette-based.
Future IFE 1. Be aware of content & regulatory issues, and allow for them in Product Design. 2. Develop open-architecture, TCP/IP systems, using a flexible approach to product development. 3. Come to WAEA TC and talk about: • New Networking Technologies… for connectivity • MPEG4… for multimedia display • SS7… to call forward to the seat • Wireless LANs & Diffused Infrared… in the cabin • Broadband Fiber… for cassetteless delivery
