A series of world-wide video conferences will introduce this convergence consumer electronics device to the marketplace and information will be provided in a bid develop new national marketing partnerships.
Technological convergence of internet, television and telephony technologies has resulted in the introduction of a number of enhanced TiVo-like personal video recorders (PVRs). Consumer electronics convergence devices allow flexibility in accessing content.
Brightbox, a new breed of personal digital recorder (PDR), can do more than simply record your favorite programs. Brightbox is an internet-capable TV set-top box which functions as both a Digital Video Recorder (DVR) and Media Center. It connects to any media device, TV, or PC on an in-home network.
Lee Matthews, president of IncomeHarvest, stated: I believe word-of-mouth marketing is the most effective way to introduce Brightbox and The Learning Network to the world. Global distances and time-zones make face-to-face contact difficult – video conferencing allows us to develop the relationships necessary to expedite the introduction of this product.
