[Future of Television] JoynTV Final Presentation from JoynTV on Vimeo.

Story Board from Lina Giraldo on Vimeo.

Everything is portable. I just need to have electricity and Internet connection the rest is only pleasure. I like TV so much that I didn’t want to have one in 10 years. I was afraid of the amount of hours I could spend in front of a it, randomly passing trough channel that I used to love, like history channel. At the end I decided to watch what Internet could give me for free which sometimes makes me want to go back to the high-res quality. Anyway my point is: Do I really want to pay 30 dollars a month to have a good quality TV service that I can watch 24 hours on my cell phone? sounds a little bit scary to me. As market goes, I’m sure somebody like my mom who loves her programs would really like to have this service.

To highlight the important point of this post, is that a good TV/cell service could be a great idea to help create new strong markets and thus make the point for the improvement the infrastructure. Without having any more worries about bandwidth, it would be very successful. I guess what I’m most interested in is the service that my provider could offer me. Like including netflix, hulu, regular TV channels in the same package with an easy interface. This would make me think twice.

Bellow are some of the specifications of the package:
AT&T Mobile TV package

•Full-length episodes from my favorites program,
•Quality Picture and Sound
•Mobile phone is a different service from your phone provider, doesn’t use their minutes
•Parental Controls

•Great for searching on the fly
