Robin
Mudge, a 20-year veteran of the BBC spoke at NAB 2000
on my non-linear storytelling panel. He has solved interactive
TV problems that our industries have only begun to address.
The paper he gave us illustrates beautifully how his interactive
broadcast is re-assembled, on the fly, to provide an individualized
experience for each viewer. This .pdf
file is a MUST READ for anyone interested in the future
of interactive broadcasting.

The Local Enhancement Collaborative, in partnership with
Corporation for Public Broadcasting Future Fund, explores
practical ways in which stations can enhance locally produced
programs, localize nationally enhanced programs and broadcast
enhanced programs.
Interactive
Pioneer, John Grozik of the LEC, has provided an ETV
Glossary and an Enhanced
TV Cookbook. You will share in the progress of this
national group by joining the following Enhanced TV group

As
a conference partner of the NAB, I brought some of the
world's best talent to illustrate my vision of the future
of broadcasting. In that foreseeable future, our media
no longer limit us. TV programs themselves are interactive
and the public and the industry both benefit from
the concepts developed by the pioneers of interactive
media.
NAB
leaders approved this vision
of the future of interactive media and the crowds were
"standing room only".

for the NAB 2000 interactive media panels and the stellar
panelists who spoke there.
