GLOBAL UPDATES BY REGION


What are the diverse forces shaping convergence?

Overviews from each region of the world on the new models of convergence involving television, digital technology and the Internet ­ and how this phenomenon is being shaped by technology, audience response, culture, e-commerce and regulatory environments. The constellation of forces moving television from one-way to interactive vary depending on geography. Equally complex are the myriad strategies for moving from analogue to digital television, with the resulting implications for being able to deliver TV programs via personal computers. In many developing regions, television, radio and the Internet are more often accessed communally, raising the possibility of yet more hybrids of convergence.
