• The Internet's approach of experimentation can be used to explore for new business models for broadcasting. Metadata can provide the "killer application" to transform digital broadcasting into a viable service: control over content by the viewer. High speed wired networks and medium speed wireless ones could provide the platform for distribution of experimental work, in much the same way the web started.

Content servers based on personal computer technology can provide multimedia on demand to the community. Hybrid open source software, using XML can add multimedia to office applications and bring content development to the general community.
