Whereas entertainment has featured negatively in the broader NBN debate currently occurring in Australia, within the disability sector it has been recognised as revolutionary. Government, industry ...and technical analysts describe digital television, particularly that delivered via broadband, as potentially enabling to people with vision and hearing impairments through the more widespread provision of accessibility features such as audio description and closed captions. This article interrogates the approach to accessibility taken by two case studies of broadband-based television: Netflix and catch-up TV. Netflix, which is not officially available in Australia, is often presented as the future of television, while catch-up services provide an example of the current broadband-based television paradigm in this country. Although accessibility features may be available on broadcast television or DVD release, each of these forms of broadband-based television has either previously (Netflix) or currently (catch-up) stripped accessible functions to stream online. The discussion reflects on both activist interventions of people with disability and the industry standards.
How streaming services and internet distribution have transformed global television culture. Television, once a broadcast medium, now also travels through our telephone lines, fiber optic cables, and ...wireless networks. It is delivered to viewers via apps, screens large and small, and media players of all kinds. In this unfamiliar environment, new global giants of television distribution are emerging—including Netflix, the world’s largest subscription video-on-demand service. Combining media industry analysis with cultural theory, Ramon Lobato explores the political and policy tensions at the heart of the digital distribution revolution, tracing their longer history through our evolving understanding of media globalization. Netflix Nations considers the ways that subscription video-on-demand services, but most of all Netflix, have irrevocably changed the circulation of media content. It tells the story of how a global video portal interacts with national audiences, markets, and institutions, and what this means for how we understand global media in the internet age. Netflix Nations addresses a fundamental tension in the digital media landscape – the clash between the internet’s capacity for global distribution and the territorial nature of media trade, taste, and regulation. The book also explores the failures and frictions of video-on-demand as experienced by audiences. The actual experience of using video platforms is full of subtle reminders of market boundaries and exclusions: platforms are geo-blocked for out-of-region users (“this video is not available in your region”); catalogs shrink and expand from country to country; prices appear in different currencies; and subtitles and captions are not available in local languages. These conditions offer rich insight for understanding the actual geographies of digital media distribution. Contrary to popular belief, the story of Netflix is not just an American one. From Argentina to Australia, Netflix’s ascension from a Silicon Valley start-up to an international television service has transformed media consumption on a global scale. Netflix Nations will help readers make sense of a complex, ever-shifting streaming media environment.

The expansion of Digital Television and the convergence between conventional broadcasting and television over IP contributed to the gradual increase of the number of available channels and on demand ...video content. Moreover, the dissemination of the use of mobile devices like laptops, smartphones and tablets on everyday activities resulted in a shift of the traditional television viewing paradigm from the couch to everywhere, anytime from any device. Although this new scenario enables a great improvement in viewing experiences, it also brings new challenges given the overload of information that the viewer faces. Recommendation systems stand out as a possible solution to help a watcher on the selection of the content that best fits his/her preferences. This paper describes a web based system that helps the user navigating on broadcasted and online television content by implementing recommendations based on collaborative and content based filtering. The algorithms developed estimate the similarity between items and users and predict the rating that a user would assign to a particular item (television program, movie, etc.). To enable interoperability between different systems, programs' characteristics (title, genre, actors, etc.) are stored according to the TV-Anytime standard. The set of recommendations produced are presented through a Web Application that allows the user to interact with the system based on the obtained recommendations. Index Terms--collaborative filtering, content filtering, recommendation systems, TV-Anytime.
THE tort of passing off is embedded in the world of commerce. Its roots are in an age when customers patronised local speciality shops. Today it operates in a world of e-commerce operating across ...national boundaries. To succeed in passing off, the claimant must show it has goodwill, that there has been a misrepresentation, and as a result that the claimant has suffered damage or, in a quia timet action, that there is the likelihood of damage. Necessary to establishing goodwill is not only that the claimant's goods and services have a reputation in the relevant jurisdiction, but also that the claimant has customers there. The question raised in Starbucks (HK) Ltd. v British Sky Broadcasting Group Plc. 2015 UKSC 31; 2015 1 W.L.R. 2628 was whether this principle is still relevant in what Lord Neuberger described as “the age of global electronic communication” (at 1). The Supreme Court held that it was.
NOVI OBLICI VIDEOIZRAŽAVANJA: VODCAST Takač, Franjo; Planinić, Martina

Odprti dostop
Ciljevi u ovome radu su analizirati vodcast kao novi oblik videoizražavanja, definirati pojam istoga te
prikazati rezultate istraživanja o navikama publike naspram oblika konzumiranja medijskih ...sadržaja.
Rezultati istraživanja predstavljaju puls javnosti te tako medijima, ali i budućim autorima vodcasta,
pomažu tijekom mogućih dvojbi u analizi navika publike. Rad ističe osnovne razlike između pojmova
podcast i vodcast jer se u javnosti, a i u stručnim okruženjima, navedeni pojmovi ne koriste dovoljno
precizno. Razvoj novih tehnologija pokrenuo je nezaustavljiv proces konvergencije medija, koji se
čini kao Pandorina kutija iz koje svakodnevno izlaze novi medijski oblici i komunikacijski obrasci
koje publika rado prihvaća. Ispred tradicionalnih su medija izazovi koje moraju prevladati kako bi
zaštitili, prije svega, vlastiti opstanak, potom i novinarsku profesiju. Mnogi novinari, ali i pojedinci,
pokreću vlastiti internetski vodcast ili podcast, koji često ima veliku posjećenost i utjecaj. Postavlja se
pitanje živimo li u vremenu i okruženju koje karakterizira velik broj informacija i medijskih sadržaja
u eteru, od čega prijeti opasnost visokoga stupnja zagušenja javnosti, zbog čega se ne razlikuje bitno
od nebitna.
Ključne riječi: vodcast, podcast, internetska televizija, novi mediji
Residential telecommunications services consist of a combination of telephone, internet, and television services. In February 2019, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) began to adjust the price ...quotes of residential telecommunications services to improve the accuracy of Consumer Price Index series. However, BLS analysts experienced a few challenges. This article identifies and addresses those challenges.
Now if I just remembered where I put that original TV play device--the universal remote control . . .
Television is a global industry, a medium of representation, an architectural component of space, ...and a nearly universal frame of reference for viewers. Yet it is also an abstraction and an often misunderstood science whose critical influence on the development, history, and diffusion of new media has been both minimized and overlooked.How Television Invented New Mediaadjusts the picture of television culturally while providing a corrective history of new media studies itself.
Personal computers, video game systems, even iPods and the Internet built upon and borrowed from television to become viable forms. The earliest personal computers, disguised as video games using TV sets as monitors, provided a case study for television's key role in the emergence of digital interactive devices. Sheila C. Murphy analyzes how specific technologies emerge and how representations, from South Park to Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along-Blog, mine the history of television just as they converge with new methods of the making and circulation of images. Past and failed attempts to link television to computers and the Web also indicate how services like Hulu or Netflix On-Demand can give rise to a new era for entertainment and program viewing online. In these concrete ways, television's role in new and emerging media is solidified and finally recognized.
