Communications Crossroads - Summer 2008 - (Page 27) generation will be DVD quality video, rapidly followed by HD quality and finally Blu-Ray quality. “In 10 years, we think most people will get video through broadband. There will be more video delivered over broadband than cable and satellite combined.” Integrating wireless and wireline services will provide true service portability, allowing consumers to access their television programming from any location. This could be an additional revenue stream for carriers, he says. Sharing single IP locations for fi xed and mobile broadband means the same content can be accessed from anywhere. This may seem unimportant; after all, today you can watch American Idol at home, or visit your neighbor and see the exact same program. The fact that it’s his cable subscription instead of yours doesn’t seem to matter. However, as video subscriptions become more and more personalized, it will make a difference. Wills tells of one example of this with a feature called “Network Nanny” that Redback offers in South Korea. This program allows parents to block programs they don’t want their children to see. Because Korea Telecom requires user login, Network Nanny blocks a child from watching verboten programming no matter whose house he’s watching from. Eventually, Wills expects all phone and television networks to be Internet-based. He also expects to see the differences between business, residential, and mobile networks to disappear. “IN 10 YEARS, WE THINK MOST PEOPLE WILL GET VIDEO THROUGH BROADBAND. THERE WILL BE MORE VIDEO DELIVERED OVER BROADBAND THAN CABLE AND SATELLITE COMBINED.” Consensus Video content delivery and mobile broadband services are clearly the big topics this year, especially when combined. We found a surprising degree of consensus among the interviewees on the technologies that will be important, and how they will drive revenue for carriers. It will be interesting to see if the reality matches the predictions. Summer 2008 COMMUNICATIONS CROSSROADS11:06:47 AM 1/4/70 375041_TeleSphere.indd 1 27 http://www.telespheresoftware.com
