Abstract
ABSTRACT Negroponte [1996. Being digital (1st ed.). New York, NY: Vintage Books] discusses the migration television might take from its air-based broadcasting to the digital environment. This paper takes into consideration the exercise in futurology made by Negroponte [1996. Being digital (1st ed.). New York, NY: Vintage Books] as an inspiration to discuss which Internet TV models are currently adopted in Brazil. They are studied in terms of the platforms used and the nature of the channels available. Results show that a number of devices can be used for Internet TV; some channels are redundant, since they are present in more than one context. There are a number of foreign (broadcasting in their own language) and Brazilian channels that seem to be exclusive in each device. Due to the price of some devices, as well as some issues regarding connectivity in Brazil, some platforms seem to lack local production.
