Google launches Internet TV. It is here, but will it be successful. Until broadband is readily available to every one it will not be commonplace. Everyone knows that if you play low band radio on your computer while you do program work how the usage rate goes through the roof and you are quickly exceed your broadband limit. For high definition movies the download width will be astronomical. Only those lucky few in the very center of major cities will be able to use the system. The great majority like the dial-up users in the outback will look on in envy.
Even Internet radio with a dedicated radio has been a dead loss. It hasn't taken off. The download requirements are just too high. Where are the virtual reality computer systems today? They have been forgotten. It seems 3D will go the same way. Using your smartphone to control Internet TV is a gimmick. You may as well have a proper controller. This won't keep people's attention.
A lot of new technology is out there but without the infrustructure it will rot on the vine. I am waiting for Telstra to provide me with a 8000 kpbs broadband service. After much apology on their part they have had to give up. I knew it couldn't be done because my old provider couldn't do it. Telstra is in a bind now. With my intention to take them to the Communications Ombudsmand and ACCC for false advertising they are stuck. Selling an 8000 service that runs at a maximum of 3000 is just not on. The tranfer rate of 426 is sufficient they say. It may be sufficient for them but it is robbery to me. No, I will stick to my guns and take them all they way to get change in the communications sector.
