- Summary:
-
The National Information Infrastructure (NII) vision encompasses an infrastructure providing seamless, interactive, user driven access to the widest range of information. Video will play a key role in distribution of educational information, government data, manufacturing information, and access to health care data and services. The Technology Policy Working Group (TPWG) believes that with computers, television, and other digital devices working together seamlessly, a digital video infrastructure will be a central part of the infrastructure delivering the NII's benefits to the home and the workplace. Consequently, it should be U.S, policy to promote movement towards the creation and interoperability of this infrastructure. The Digital HDTV Grand Alliance's (GA) proposed standards represent a starting point in the creation of an architecture for communications and video standards. However, an overall advanced digital video architecture to address the full range of video in the NII does not yet exist. Delay in implementing the appropriate digital television infrastructure will propagate the current analog system that is incompatible with the NII vision. Consequently, TPWG recommends: (1) the Federal Government should fully support the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Advisory Committee on Advanced Television Service (ACATS) process and the Grand Alliance's efforts to set an advanced digital television standard; and (2) the Federal Government should continue its working relationship with industry-led research and development efforts that are establishing an interoperative advanced digital video infrastructure. An appendix discusses technology challenges to an advanced digital video infrastructure. (Contains 14 references.) (MAS)
