Binnenkort is TV dus hopeloos ouderwets.
En de infrastructuur compleet overbodig.

RTLNieuws:
De provincies geven in totaal 300 miljoen euro per jaar uit aan kunst en
cultuur. 40% daarvan gaat naar de regionale omroepen. Overijssel geeft
het meest uit (€47 miljoen), Groningen het minst (€10 miljoen).

Scheelt dus weer €120 miljoen per jaar aan overheidsuitgaven voor lokale
omroep.

Google TV: screening soon?

Google TV could be coming to a screen near you with the company putting
finishing touches on technology that lets software developers build
applications for televisions in much the same way as they do for
smartphones.

Recent reports from the Wall Street Journal and Bloomberg indicate
Google could be planning to introduce Android-based television software
called Dragonpoint at a developer conference later this month.

Sony, Intel and Logitech are also reported to be partnering to develop
the technology, which would allow televisions to access content directly
from the internet.

Google TV software is being designed to provide users with an entirely
new interface for TVs that lets them perform internet functions like
search while also pulling down web programming like videos or music from
particular online services.

It could allow web applications like games or social networks to run on
the devices, as well as small programs called widgets that can provide
weather forecasts or news headlines.

Intel is also believed to be working on a scaled-down version of its
computer processors called Atom, to integrate internet access with
television guides, personal content libraries and search, says Bloomberg.

"The decision to address developers suggests that the internet giant may
be hoping to kick-start a race to build applications for its TV
platform, much in the same way that Google, Apple and others have
courted developers for smartphones," says the Wall Street Journal.

Google has also reportedly been testing a new television programming
search service with Dish Network, which would search for content across
the internet as well as Dish programming.
