Early Internet TV Coverage December 23, 2007
Posted by Matthew Woolums in Articles/Videos, History.trackback
I enjoy exploring the history of the Internet, and I’m very happy that Steve Borsch from Connecting the Dots has posted a “Computer Chronicles” video from the Internet Archive. I can’t get over how they keep calling it “Internet” instead of “the Internet” as in “connecting to Internet.” Oh, and everything is text based. You’ll even hear the old modem squawk. It is also surprising how all of the issues (like security, online music, standards) mentioned are still issues today. Who knew the Internet once had a 1-800 help line?

Thank You for taking this task on Mathew. I am involved in this new media space and would like to learn as much as I can about it as it evolves. Our company, http://www.newitv.com is based in Guangzhou, China. We just received our first round ov vc funding and are about to launch. We use P2P to broadcast TV channels for internet viewing from Eastern China, Taiwan, Hong Kong, and Malaysia. We will be adding more channels soon. Free at the moment, expect to bundle & offer subscriptions soon. Would be interested in your thoughts
