Abstract
Recent shifts in the regulatory and competitive landscape promise to bring innovations to the entertainment video industry over the next several years. FCC rulings calling for HDTV must-carry and encouraging the elimination of standard definition TVs have prompted a major push in the consumer electronics industry to make HDTVs more affordable and within reach of the masses. Cableës push into wireline voice coupled with the emergence of higher compression standards has brought the FTTH network provider, as a third formidable competitor, to the video market currently dominated by Cable and DBS. Consumers empowered with bandwidth intensive technologies and applications, and a wider choice of service providers, present new opportunities for the contenders to pursue along with new challenges.
