Internet TV

Sometimes referred to as IPTV. Wikipedia IPTV entry: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iptv

Video on the web is one of the biggest onlinetrends today. Many companies offer their own - mostly proprietary solutions. It remains to be seen what consumers actually want, but TV as we know it is probably a thing of the past.

A free and open-source Internet TV platform is the Democracy Player http://www.getdemocracy.com/ from the Participatory Culture Foundation. It allows everyone to watch, make (and distribute) Internet TV.
