The next big wave of the digital revolution is digital video-The BIG Picture. In the U.S., Congress enacted the Digital Television Transition and Public Safety Act of 2005 that mandates the move of television to digital, by 2009, to free up analog frequencies for first-responders telecommunication services. With the mandate of digital television, the marriage between the computer and the TV is assured.
24 million HDTVs shipped worldwide last year. Everyone seems to want a bigger TV and now everyone has more options that ever before. The promise of High Definition TV for startling verisimilitude is the next big thing in tv and the movement is strongly gaining support.
Half of U.S. households to have broadband in 2007. "Although the U.S. broadband services market is maturing and rapidly heading toward saturation, it will continue to experience strong growth in subscribers and revenue through 2011. In fact, by the end of this year, more than half of all U.S. households will access the Internet at home via a broadband connection, demonstrating that broadband is mainstream and an essential component of the digital home. Consequently, the next phase of broadband market development will be less focused on speeds and feeds and more about broadband's role as the key enabler of a host of bandwidth-intensive applications, services, and content and, more important, the heart of the emerging digital home." - Amy Harris Lind, program manager, Broadband Markets and Technologies, IDC Market Research
