The Dawn of the DSL Era
Digital subscriber line or DSL (for those of who you don’t know, that’s the technology behind your broadband!) is undoubtedly the key to the next level of communication and entertainment. Till date, people have adopted the DSL in the form of broadband and have benefited widely from it. Taking the growth to the next level, the power of DSL has now been unleashed by bringing TV on internet!
Television requires no definition! It’s in fact, the technical name for home entertainment. TV on internet (through DSL) is not just about TV on PC. While TV on PC shuns away just the TV set, the internet caters in many more applications and takes television to an advanced level. Besides powerful audio and the video services that can’t be matched by other mediums, many of the PC and mobile related applications (like SMS, video telephony, MMS, e-mail services) may confluence with the ‘TV on internet’ concept beneficially.
The potential of DSL can be tapped by the broadcasters to facilitate interactive TV- this may very well include large volumes of data on the programs, greater involvement of users in live programs, instant feedback from the users and so on. Even advertisements may possibly become more interactive giving the users a better control over their demands!
