jubimer... the captive audiences, the notable lack of network execs who feel they have a handle on it who didn't even attend the " 21st C" forum, and the critical aspect of alliances... ah but, how telling was this statement: In virtually every corner of the convention center, from the various sessions, to a wide range of products on the exhibit floor, Internet Protocol (IP) multicasting took center stage. In fact, many people at the show felt that IP technologies and methods far outshined the proliferation of high definition television (HDTV) products on display. It certainly was the subject of many more conversations.

Jubimer! That is a very stimulating article: I cop't one paragraph: Cuban cited statistics that claim 99 percent of white-collar workers have a PC on their desk while only nine percent have TVs at work. That's enabled his company to sell advertisers on the fact that "at 2:00 in the afternoon on a Monday, I can reach more white collar office workers than ABC, CBS, and NBC combined. That should be important to you if you run a TV station. There will come a point in the not-too-distant future when we will help our content partners [over 30 radio and TV stations] draw bigger audiences on the Internet than they do over the air."

the future suggests proliferation of the IP standard.... News May 28, 14:46 Eastern Time SEMA GROUP: Internet Protocol is the way forward MAY 28, 1999, M2 Communications - Almost two thirds of telecommunications operators believe that the Internet Protocol (IP) is capable of becoming the global telecoms standard by 2004. This is one of the key findings of The Vision Report, an extensive international research initiative, commissioned by Serna Group Telecoms, into the key trends in the telecoms industry. Of those that stated a view, 42 per cent forecast that over half of their data traffic will be carried by IP within five years, whilst 25 per cent felt that the majority of their voice traffic would be carried over IP. In the UK, this figure was slightly lower, with 41 per cent anticipating that their data traffic and 20 per cent anticipating that their voice traffic would be carried over IP by 2004. This trend is supported by The Vision Reports findings that demand for Internet services will grow more rapidly than for other services. Almost one third (30 per cent) of telecoms operators believe that growth rates for Internet services in the business market will exceed 30 per cent in the next five years. This compares to just 24 per cent who anticipate this growth rate across all services. The trend is reflected also in the residential market, with 24 per cent of operators believing that growth in Internet services will exceed 30 per cent over the next five years. FranCois Dufaux, Vice President of Sema Group comments on the findings: "Despite the delays in introducing Voice over Internet services, Internet Protocol offers the promise of true convergence of voice, data and video. This will revolutionise the way people communicate both with others in their organisation and with suppliers, partners and customers. The findings of The Vision Report confirm telecoms operators' awareness that, in order to offer the business solutions that their corporate customers require, IP will be a large portion of their service offering.
