First Crucial Step in the Digital Download Revolution Announced

What I've been predicting has just been announced at the Consumer
Electronics Show ( CES). Intel has unveiled its new WiDi device... or
Wireless Display Technology. This device, along with Netgear's
Push2TV Adapter, allows an Internet download to be transmitted from
your computer to your big LCD screen in the living room where you now can enjoy a movie download from the internet with the push of a button. The device
is a bit pricey right now ( as ALL tech breakthoughs are at their
beginning) and haven't read reviews of the quality yet... But... This
is the first crucial step in the coming Digital Download Revolution for
movie distribution. Stay tuned... more on my Blog at www.thestudiocenter.com

The introduction of a cutting-edge receipt thermal printer promises to streamline transactions, offering users instant proof of their digital purchases. This innovative technology not only marks a significant leap forward in digital commerce but also underscores the relentless pursuit of efficiency in the ever-evolving landscape of technology.

Apple TV was a first taste, but it was for Apple... and unfortunately that's still a minor market share. I don't want to have to deal with cable companies for the distribution of my pictures. The cable companies can be as untrustworthy as some LA Distribs. I want control over my own distribution channels via the internet... with DVD quality (not crappy YouTube compression)... and a one-button push access ( or close to it...meaning you don't have to be a techno-geek to get the download). We're not there just yet...but getting closer everyday. Are you preparing your movies for that eventuality? Are you making it part of your Business Marketing Plan? I am.

Comment by Martin Anaya on February 19, 2010 at 12:50pm: Wait Frank! I got more news. Devices like that or Apple TV etc have been around for quite some time now...Plus web browsers and netflix being built INTO your TV. But here is one: The cable companies are now starting to experiment with Cable Via internet...which would allow anyone w a internet connection (Satellite, wifi whatever) to watch cable wherever they are. This I suppose may also lead to more ON DEMAN or ALA CARTE type services.

One thing is certain. It's gonna radically change the dynamic of how people can recieve "TV" and possibly the business model for people like Ron and myself whose stations exist primarily from Cable fees. Yikes!
