Britain urged to switch off analogue TV by 2010 05-21-98 13:54 EDT ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ÿÿÿÿ LONDON, May 21 (Reuters) - Britain should pull the plug on viewers' existing television sets by the year 2010 to speed the country's transition to the digital age, a parliamentary committee recommended on Thursday. ÿÿÿÿ The Culture, Media and Sport Select Committee, urging sweeping reforms in media and telecoms regulation, called for Prime Minister Tony Blair's government to announce a switch-off date for analogue TV by the end of this year. ÿÿÿÿ The report, entitled "The Multi-Media Revolution," represented a major step toward setting a date for Britain's analogue switch-off. Although the government does not have to accept the recommendations, it must respond to the report in two months as part of the policy-making process. mediacentral.com

Sega's Dreamcast....................................... dailynews.yahoo.com "For consumers, Dreamcast's state-of-the-art 3D graphics technology and online capabilities will provide unprecedented levels of realism and performance in game play," he said. For developers, the Windows CE operating system with multimedia services will help reduce the time and investment needed to develop game software, he said. With the new game machine, Sega hopes to regain a strong foothold in the worldwide game market after suffering a shrinking market share in the face of runaway sales of Sony's cutting-edge PlayStation, as well as Nintendo's 64-bit game machine, Nintendo64. Sega said that sales of its Saturn game console in the United States have slowed, but it still continued to offer game software for Saturn. Sega's new machine will have high-definition graphics capacity, a 64-channel sound system and will be equipped with a modem for fast network connections and online experiences. Sega said that Dreamcast will also use advanced digital technologies of several other companies, such as Hitachi and NEC.
