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.
