IMTC: Interoperability, Multimedia and Standards
As a part of the IMTC 2025 event, we invited Alicia Abella from AT&T Labs to talk about Social TV.
Alicia Talked with Kfir Pravda (VP marketing at IMTC) about the future of TV and AT&T own Social TV prototype service – CollaboratTV. Its exiting to see all the commitment from both of the Industry and the academy to Social TV.
Last week I had the chance to conduct a special interview with Marie Jose Montpetit, an invited scientist in MIT Labs at the department of electrical engineering, about a relatively new field that called “Social TV”.
I was always intrigued by the way that technology enables us to watch TV content whenever and wherever we want, but we still use it in order to reconnect around TV shows. In this interview we are trying to figure out:
Is TV dead? What are the new ways of TV consumption?
Can the current business models support the TV experience of tomorrow? And what’s so social about TV anyway?
