PureDigitalVision™ True Internet Television to the Home

Business Opportunity

“Content is where I expect much of the real money will be made on the Internet” said Bill Gates in 1996. Today, more than a decade later, increasing number of service providers realize the wisdom in those words. In a world of deregulation, globalization and increased competition, content remains one of the few elements that allow providers to successfully differentiate their offerings.

But how can providers deliver high quality content to subscribers? Traditional methods of content delivery, including air, satellite and cable are still available, but they are prohibitively expensive for small and medium size providers and are not globally scalable. For example, if a provider wants to offer delivery of TV channels via cable, he has to invest millions of dollars to build supporting infrastructure to the end users. Even if he succeeds, he will be limited to scaling up his business within the national boundaries.

Fortunately, there are emerging technologies such as our PureDigitalVision Internet Television (I-TV) - open standard, interactive internet television, which enable low-cost and globally scalable delivery of multimedia content to end users. PureDigitalVision technology enables the transport of high quality multimedia content over public networks, such as the Internet. Because providers can leverage on existing global Internet infrastructure, they gain the opportunity to enter into the lucrative TV, LIVE, Video-on-Demand, and Pay-per-View segments with very low cost and compete successfully with established players like cable, TV and satellite companies.
