The new
era of entertainment is much based on the broadband and
wireless
and digital worlds. Entertainment can come from anywhere now direct
to the individual player, auto,
or
home theater. The DSL and cable-modem revolutions is growing with
a fifth of American homes having
high-speed,
always on Internet access. Estimates run that now 23 million households
are on broadband.
The
trends of digital media, the home theater phenomenon, broadband, portable
players and some other
movements
in electronics and entertainment is going to make for a revolutionary and
exciting year in the
entertainment
business. In the long run the artist and the content providors are
going to have a great ride.
As
the transition from the ole way that the music lables did business to the
new forms of music delivery
comes
right out of the garage...and content will begain to rein as KING...
The
Bangles gave a great performance with some new and old song. Of course
the "Walked Like
An
Egyptian." They talked some about how excited they are at the music
revolution taking place
online.
Ricky
Skaggs gave a great live show to the audience and was live on Sirius Radio.
The convention
hall
where Sirius had their shows were packed. It was for sure the place
to be during the show. The
crowds
that gathered around the music were huge. Every booth that we visited
seemed to have some
new
music player, recorder or something that was entertainment related.
Another
revolution that was being seen at the show was High-Definition TV.
Over one thousand digital terrestrial
TV
stations are broadcasting HDTV signals, operating in more than 200 local
markets. More than 80% of consumer
homes are reached by at least five digital terrestrial signals. More
than 50 percent of TV households have eight, or more, local digital TV
signals available. By the end of 2007, it is expected that about
6 million households will
be watching HDTV broadcasts from an antenna, while another 30 million will
be using either digital Cable TV or
satellite-delivered
HDTV services.
