Audio podcast of a presentation that frogdesign has been giving, demoing an interface
it developed for OpenTV called Mondrian. It is a 10-foot interface that allows the user to
spatially browse non-linear video content arranged by metadata and user preferences.
It opens up advertising possibilities that give it industry viability as well.

The demo is narrated in the first part; the rest is the reasoning behind the decisions made.

4-part series from PBS's Nightly Business report, aired in February 2008. Broad overview of issues,
technologies, consumer behaviors, broadcaster and advertiser concerns in the video space. Focuses
on United States, but few concerns are nation-specific other than penetration of broadband and
technology in cell-phone networks. Conclusion is that there is no one future of TV or video, but rather
an ecosystem of set-top boxes, high-definition/high production value, mobile, and prosumer content.
