TheFutureofTelevision:What'sonNext?

BossesinthetelevisionindustryhavebeenkeepinganervouseyeontwoScandinavianswithareputationforcausingtrouble.InrecentyearsNiklasZennstrom,aSwede,findJanusFriis,aDane,havefrightenedthemusicindustrybyinventingKaZaA,a"peer-to-peer"(P2P)file-sharingprogramthatwaswidelyusedtodownloadmusicwithoutpayingforit.ThentheyhorrifiedthemightytelecomsindustrybyinventingSkype,anotherP2Pprogram,whichletsInternetusersmakefreetelephonecallsbetweencomputers,andverycheapcallstoordinaryphones.Theirnextmovewastofoundyetanotherstart-up--thistime,onethatthreatenedtodevastate(毁坏)thetelevisionindustry.

Itmaydotheopposite,asitturnsout.Thenewservice,calledJoostandnowinadvancedtesting,isbasedonP2Psoftwarethatrunsonpeople'scomputers,justlikeSkypeandKaZaA.Anditdoesindeedpromisetotransform.theexperienceofwatchingtelevisionbycombiningwhatpeoplelikeaboutold-fashionedTVwiththeexcitingpossibilitiesoftheInternet."ButunlikeKaZaAandSkype,"saysFredrikdeWahl,aSwedewhomMr.ZennstromandFriishavehiredasJoost'sboss,"Joostdoesnotdisrupttheindustrythatitisentering.Instead,ratherthanundercuttingtelevisionnetworksandproducers,Joostmight,asitwere,givethemnewjuice."

ThatisbecauseMr.deWahlandhisJoostteam,workingmostlyintheNetherlands,havebravelyignoredthetotems(图腾)oftheInternet-videoboom.Chiefamongthesefashionsislettingusersuploadanythingtheywanttoavideoservice--whichmightincludeclipsofthemselvesdoingoddthings("user-generatedcontent")or,morequestionably,videospiratedfromothersources.ThecelebratedexampleofthisapproachisYouTube,whichisnowpartofGoogle,theleaderinInternetsearch.Itsbigproblem,however,isthatitcanbeillegal(ifcopyrightisviolated)andterriblyhardtoturnintoabusiness.

OnFebruary2ndViacom,anAmericanmediagiant,becamethelatestcompanytodemandthatYouTuberemovecopyright-infringing(侵犯版权的)clipsfromitswebsite.YouTubehasstruckdealswithsomemediafirms,includingNBCandCBS,toallowtheirmaterialtoappearonitssite,andhadbeentryingtothrashoutasimilaragreementwithViacom.ManyobserversregardViacom'smoveasanegotiatingtactic.ButwhetherYouTubecanmakemoneyisunclear.LastmonthChadHurley,YouTube'schiefexecutive,sketchedoutplansforgeneratingadvertisingrevenuesandsharingthemwithcontentproviders,butsofarhisfirmhasnonetospeakof.
