Remember Hindery? Hindery sees interactive TV displacing personal computers biz.yahoo.com >>...''A shift is underway in which 'watching television' will become as past tense as 'dialing the phone,''' Hindery said in an address to the @dTech advertising conference. ''This shift will create a uniquely TV-centric, Internet-like experience in which the viewer's relationship with the television will move from passive to interactive.''... >>...Hindery told the advertising conference that broadband technology ''is a convenient, flexible, efficient, digital, variable-speed pipeline that has evolved from a humble coaxial cable ancestor.'' While its ancestor delivered ''a simple analog video signal,'' Hindery said, ''broadband is both a distribution avenue and an access provider for the communications, entertainment and information industries, as well as for their products and services ...'' He said those products and services will include digital video, variable-speed Internet access, telephone and interactive television, as well as e-mail, financial services, e-commerce, local community information and educational services. ''The most exciting quality of broadband is its ability to enable interactivity, which is fundamental to meeting consumers' growing entertainment, shopping, communications and financial needs,'' Hindery said. ''This interactivity is truly where the greatest future business opportunities lie for marketers, advertisers and e-tailers.'' The evolution of broadband technology has driven consolidation in the cable TV industry and accelerated the convergence among distributors, content providers and equipment suppliers. ''This consolidation will continue at an explosive pace among technology suppliers,'' Hindery said, citing the planned $11 billion takeover of General Instrument Corp. (NYSE:GIC - news) by Motorola Inc., (NYSE:MOT - news) announced in September. But he added that he thinks the consolidation among broadband distributors and content providers, at least in the United States, ''is largely complete,'' although he sees continued consolidation overseas, especially in Europe. Hindery, in response to a question from conference chair Kate Maddox, said he could not reveal his next professional move, but said: ''I won't run another cable television company.'' However, he added that he continues to be ''fascinated'' by telecommunications and the Internet, and said that ''in the next couple of weeks, you'll know what I'm up to.''<<
