NO…it would be simple !

What change during last years, only Digital and Telco’s

relations ? yes but not only, now:

OUR main device, the TV receiver, is now in a total

mutation, it is a disruptive revolution.

• It becomes connected on the Internet.• CE Manufacturers have also a business strategy like Telco’s services or CE Mobiles Manufacturers.

WHAT is the problem :

Whose contenton the TV screen ?

Broadcasters action

• Uncontroled content displayed, over or around our programs is a real problem. Broadcasters and CE Manufacturers are aware about this issue.• In 2008 Broadcasters proposed to CE Manufacturers to work together on a common internet based solution, easy and cheap to put into TV set.
