Hi,
As you probably know, several network operators in Europe are working hard to provide soon TV broadcast across mobile phones.
I'd like to have your personal view (or just intuition) about the future of mobile or pervasive iTV from the user experience point of view: how do you imagine it should be and how you'd like to it be (applications, content, interaction modalities...).
Thanks in advance,
Anxo

Hi AIR people My feeling is that initial usage of new media is the same as the previous media upon which the new media is based, see for example the "wireless telegraph" (later radio) and early telephone use (an offshoot of the telegraph) (go, the telegraph!) (wireless TV is basically wireless telegraphy with pictures and high bandwidth, right?) ^_^ So I am guessing that initial use will be like with current TV combined with current cellphones/mobiles and other wireless devices, because that is how people are used to using these things. Also pricing structures will, most likely, be based on these previous forms. Possibly advertising supported content (broadcast TV in the US, gmail, etc.) or pay-service (cable in the US). I am not under the impression that "interactive TV" has ever been successful (see the QUBE experiment in the US in Ohio, the famous but perhaps understudied example?), although people are used to having more control over phone content. There has been some excellent work on interactive TV that I have at home... and can't recall who it was by (but HS knows if he wants to chime in). TV is more passive, and normal humans don't make content. The web is more active, we have to surf around more and click more and read more, and I was just distracted for half an hour and don't recall where that was going. Something to do with are people used to passivity or activity on their phones, I think. (I think they can do both, but...) Over time new usage methods and patterns as well as new pricing schemes should emerge. Ok, I won't pretend to be an expert on the pricing side of things, but... If it's similar to old media it is easier to explain to new users. Then, I'd say, add new things over time. Hmm, a Tivo in my cell phone so I can watch Desperate Housewives on the subway during the commute!!! (no, I don't use the subway to commute) (I mean, I don't watch DH!) ^_^ ndp...

Hi all, You can view some newly launched Australian mobile content prototypes at <http://www.dlux.org.au/mobilejourneys/> ...and yes they do clearly remediate the logics of genre, form etc. As is the nature of developing media. In his Introductory History of British Broadcasting Andrew Crisell says in the first 8-10 years of television broadcasting the BBC had little conception of the medium's potential. Not surprising really, given our need to build new creative logics through processual or performative understandings. It's interesting for example to track Flash aesthetics developing (see Anna Munster <hypertext.rmit.edu.au/dac/papers/Munster.pdf>) There is a tendency, as Jeremy suggested, for productive relationships to be shaped by the political conditions of remediation - that is, we approach producing within the old team structures, with a previously useful skill set and suite of practices (budgets, deadlines, ethics etc) only to find that we need more money, more time, new code, more bandwidth, and better lawyers. A few experiments later, things start to get interesting... In answer to Anxo's question - and this is somewhat unformed thought - I'd like to see current affairs content where users can post multimedia responses to local events/issues and pose challenges to politicians or bureaucrats, and games with a quest or participatory/collaborative focus rather than vote and dismiss. best, Fiona
