Telecom Classes Telecom programs are usually very forward thinking and have a great technological basis. Broadband Entertainment offers the specific application of telecom and computer technologies to entertainment. With Intel offering $200 million for their Digital Home Fund, high-tech companies know that the future of entertainment is in the Internet and digital entertainment. New technologies, such as Blu-ray and DTT, are changing the way entertainment is distributed. From online gaming to videoconferencing, Broadband Entertainment shows the technical aspects of delivering video to millions of homes around the world. Entertainment companies have been one of the leaders in technology as well as a laggard when distributing their content online.. Broadband Entertainment is an excellent resource for Telecom program students. The book explores how entertainment can be delivered through multiple sources including the Internet (See illustration on right). The book takes the perspective of the consumer and shows how the consumer will be using advanced personal video recorders or multimedia PCs to view and store content. The variety of televisions and home networking will let the consumer view the material in new way. From home theaters to untethered devices, the book covers it all. The author, Scott Kipp, will help the telecom teacher develop a class syllabus based on the book. The teacher may only want to make the book a part of the class or base a few classes on the delivery technology of films. Scott is willing to work with professors on a complementary basis if the book is a required course. Scott has worked with professors or instructors in the past by teleconferencing into the classes. Answering questions and giving further insight on relevant topics, Scott may be able to visit the classroom depending on his schedule. Please contact Scott for further assistance via e-mail or telephone at 303-906-3415.
