I think I get it now, but is the quality of media that is freely avaiable on the Internet any good?
It is constantly getting better and in fact it has improved dramatically since the days of dial-up and it is now improving at a much higher pace. Most content providers abandoned long ago the low quality streams designed for 56 kbps modems and are now at a minimum of 200 kbps with 300 kbps being the current average. It is not too difficult to find companies that offer 500 kbps to 1 Mbps streams (equivalent to standard definition TV) for free (Yahoo is one such company). Many web sites are adding free Live and On Demand video content, and companies like CNN that up until recently were charging for most of their videos, are now going back to offering more and more content for free. TV is changing and will never be the same, some say that we are witnessing the rebirth of TV as we know it. TVersity will help you make the most out of it by being able to enjoy this new medium in your living room, where it belongs, or on a mobile device.
