Later 2010, big time TV manufacturers will be releasing, 3 dimensional televisions (3-D). "TV finally becomes real" in three dimensions, said Robert Perry, an executive vice president at Panasonic. "You're in it. It's the next frontier." This new platform to watch TV will change the way any consumer will watch TV ever again. It's a new experience that will take the audience deep in the program, whether it's, a movie, a sitcom or even sporting event. The downside to this major step forward in technology is that there will be too much data being sent through the bandwidth. It could possibly too much and possibly distort the viewers full 3-D experience. As for the audience, there is a video that I am posting that will give a full background on the viewers experience. All that have watched this new technology, could not believe their eyes. It went straight from the big screen to straight to your living room.

AT&T is now offering U-verse. A new television application that will allow the view to watch up to 4 different channels at once. It was designed most currently for the debut of the Vancouver Olympics. It will allow the viewer to watch multiple events all at once so they never miss a minute of the action. This feature was an award winning application that was introduced in the fall of 09. The way this could impact AT&T, by enabling them to have more features enabled on their services. It seems like this feature is more geared towards the major sport enthusiasts, that could be a possible downside for AT&T mainly because there may not be as money sport enthusiasts out there as they think there are. As for the audience's impact, FOR the sport enthusiasts, it would be extremely beneficial. Mainly because of the fact they can watch everything they would like, all at once.
