Reader Feedback

"I chose Broadband Entertainment because it is a great overview of the technologies that are revolutionizing the digital entertainment environment. Broadband Entertainment is right on target for use in my course entitled Broadband and Human Communication at Baylor University. Given the interdisciplinary nature of the course, I needed an easy-to-read text that wasn't designed for an engineer but still had a lot of richness and depth to it. Broadband Entertainment not only fit the need, but exceeded my expectations. I wholeheartedly recommend Broadband Entertainment to any school that wants to introduce their students to the brave new world of digital entertainment."

Dr. Carbonara used Broadband Entertainment as a required text in his class at Baylor University. Scott paticpated in the class via teleconference to explain the intricacies of the book.

Kipp's book is a broadband home run, Delphic, detailed and definitive, a call to action for the next frontier of the Internet Revolution - the spectronic residence.

George received an advanced copy of my book and he loved it so much that he had me write the October 2003 Gilder Technology Report. George has written such visionary books as Microcosm, Telecosm, and Life after Television. George is an avid, opinionated speaker if you get a chance to see him.

An Interesting and Informative Book
Broadband Entertainment is an excellent book. It gives a thorough explanation of both the trends in home entertainment and the digital technology that is making them possible. It is written in a very interesting style and covers material ranging from the generations of entertainment and distribution technology to the politics of broadband access and digital rights management.

There are also a lot of interesting tidbits about some of the technical details, such as audio and video coding, capacity of storage technologies, etc. This book is worth the price for its large, informative, full-color illustrations alone.

Excellent reference, very timely and packed with information
I found this book to be extremely packed with many of the details that flood the digital entertainment and gaming world. It is a very useful reference as well as an extremely easy read that itself entertained me while providing clarification on many aspects of the confusing technology in the broadband world. This book can save you literally hundreds of hours that you would spend trying to find this kind of information online and in reference books. It ties all of this together into a comprehensive whole that is very accurate and on the mark.

I saved a whole lot more money on my home entertainment system after reading this book, than what I paid for the cost of the book! It was a great deal.
