[Event,UK] Broadband TV 2.0, 23rd May, Brighton

Use8- The User Experience Society

presents:
Broadband TV 2.0

Television is in transition from a broadcast medium to a broadband
medium. As digital television migrates to new channels of distribution
a whole new range of interactive services can be delivered to engage
audiences.

With the introduction of interactivity, Television is moving toward
new forms of communication that bridge the different worlds of
broadcasting and telecommunications. In this transition, passive
audiences will become active users adapting themselves to the new lean
forward experience of broadband TV.
The challenges in delivering rich experiences and in redefining the
future of TV are complex.
Broadband TV 2.0 will explore this new medium of delivery and the user
experience considerations for designing new digital TV services for
users.

The event is free and will take place on the 23rd of May at the Jurys
Inn in Brighton UK.

The customer of course.

You use it, you pay for it.

Unfortunately, many people seem to think that bandwidth is free - kind
of like the old water rates - pay a fixed fee per house and use as much
as you want. Many people now realise though that using a meter both
helps reduce water usage (as they're aware they need to pay for it), can
save people money (as they only pay for what they use) and reflects the
"you use it, you pay for it" principle.

In practice though, I'd expect a similar system to what we have today -
most people can get by with a normal 'capped' (or fair usage) service -
whereas those who want the HD TV over IP can pay for the larger limits.
