Developing Personalised
TV
for e-government and
Social inclusion
Developing Sustainable
Solutions
As
broadband TV emerges through cable or through IPTV it is creating new
opportunities to deliver interactive, video-rich e-government
transactional services both locally and nationally.
It is
also creating new opportunities for reducing social exclusion through
TV-based e-health and e-learning services and for local regeneration of
communities and businesses by getting people involved in producing their own
video-rich content. This creates opportunities for
housing associations and other organisations providing
social housing.
One particularly good example of this is
RegenTV in the
London Borough of Newham.
We have
been involved in these developments for several years
and have produced a number
of reports for the European Commission and other national agencies
on increasing learning opportunities in the home
through personalised TV.
(See t-learning) In addition, we have also
advised on the opportunities that personalised TV can offer for
numeracy and literacy.
Although there is a major drive to provide information and offer
transactional e-government services via the web - there are still between
40-60% of households in Europe who don't have access to an internet-enabled
computer in their own homes. Broadband TV can offer an alternative form of
access.
We can help
and guide you through these developments.
