<center>http://www.bebeyond.com/KeepCurrent/Indepth/india.jpg</center>
 
 
===New===
what is new about this object, what makes it different?
 
It is now the era of the knowledge society, and the Manchester of the industrial era has come to be replaced by the Silicon Valley. The 1500 sq. km. area of enterprise in California that came to be known as the Silicon Valley has become the gold standard for several international cities. Bangalore acquired the title well ahead of the others and as the author, James Heitzman, notes in his book, it is recognised as India's Silicon Valley even by those who live in the "original" in the U.S.<br><br>
India's well-educated, English-speaking talent pool gives the region a competitive advantage over China and other Asian competitors, Khan said. "I know China has a way of getting things done," he said. "But when you talk about education and a talent base, that takes much longer to create."<br>
 
===Replace===
what other objects does this object replace?<br><br>
Outsourcing in India has experienced explosive growth with overseas companies getting everything from their customer support work to teleradiology done here.
Leading companies worldwide realize that to maintain stay ahead, they need to reduce costs, provide the best quality, use the latest high-tech skills, and be reliable and innovative.
Offshore assignments have moved up the value chain - from data entry to large and complex turnkey projects of 200 to 300 person years.<br>
Applications include:<br>
* E-Commerce
* Business Process Re-engineering
* System Migration
* Maintaining Legacy Systems
* System Integration
* CBI Application

===Change===
how could this object change its environment (remember the car example)? <br>
'''Management Trends in Outsourcing'''
* Harvard Business Review has identified outsourcing as one of the most * important management ideas and practices of the past 75 years.
* Spending by U.S. organizations on outsourced business services will triple from $100 billion to $318 billion.
* Studies indicate that outsourcing is increasingly viewed positively by executives and top management alike, at both US and multinational companies.
 
'''Top US Companies Turning to Business Process Outsourcing'''
According to a study released by PricewaterhouseCoopers, top US companies are turning to business process outsourcing based on interviews with senior executives at more than 100 U.S. companies averaging about $4.4 billion in yearly revenue.
 
About 73 percent of U.S. executives interviewed said their companies presently outsource one or more business processes to external service providers.

===Growth===
Are there many of these objects around, what are the growth statistics for these objects?
 
'''India IT Software and Services Industry (US$ billion)'''<br>
<center>http://www.businessweek.com/adsections/indian/infotech/2001/software_bar.jpg Source: NASSCOM</center><br>
India’s software industry statistics illustrate the massive strides achieved by this sector and the opportunities the future holds. According to NASSCOM’s estimates for the fiscal year 2000-01, the country’s software industry is worth $8.26 billion, up from $100 million ten years ago.<br><br>
'''Software Export as a percentage of India’s Total Export'''<br>
<center>http://www.businessweek.com/adsections/indian/infotech/2001/sware_export.jpg Source: NASSCOM</center><br>
According to the NASSCOM-McKinsey study, the Indian software industry is expected to gross US$50 billion in exports in 2008! This is based on an average growth rate of 35 percent per year. The industry is well placed to achieve this target.
 
===Other===
'''India vs China'''<br>
<center>http://economist.com/images/20050305/CSU342.gif</center>
In terms of integration into the global economy, the Chinese reforms have gone much further than India's have, and reaped bigger rewards. But India and China still face similar challenges. When George Fernandes, an Indian opposition politician who was defence minister in the previous government, visited China in 2003, he asked China's prime minister, Wen Jiabao, to list his economic priorities. The answers—unemployment, regional disparities and the enduring poverty of farmers—applied just as much to India. Mr Fernandes, once known as a critic of China, concluded: “We are both sailing in the same boat.”
 
The two countries have much else in common. Both have massive populations with correspondingly massive needs for resources, especially land, water and energy. Both need to find ways of stemming environmental decay. Both suffer under-reported HIV infection rates. Both face potentially destabilising external disputes: China with America over Taiwan, India with Pakistan over Kashmir.

==Research Question==
===BASIC===
* [[What is web2.0? Why web2.0? What is Internet TV?]]<br>
 
"Web 2.0, according to 2005 conference sponsor Tim O'Reilly, is an "architecture of participation" -- a constellation made up of links between web applications that rival desktop applications, the blog publishing revolution and self-service advertising. This architecture is based on social software where users generate content, rather than simply consume it, and on open programming interfaces that let developers add to a web service or get at data. It is an arena where the web rather than the desktop is the dominant platform, and organization appears spontaneously through the actions of the group, for example, in the creation of folksonomies created through tagging."
 
The theory has been percolating for some time. But it intensified last year when O'Reilly published an essay on the topic, as well as a graphic outlining the key categories of this new medium.
 
* [[What is the difference between the current Internet and Web2.0?]]<br>
 
: Ross Mayfield, the CEO of SocialText, a company that sells collaborative wiki software to enterprises and that is hosting the Web 2.0 wiki, had a simpler definition for conference goers. "Web 1.0 was commerce. Web 2.0 is people," Mayfield said.

===Media mix===
* [[how will TV be connected with other medias, like blog, cell phone, HDTV, digital TVs recorders/ digital video recorders(PVR/DVR) incorporated with Internet TV?]]
 
 
A: The trend is that internet TV service that empowers video producers and programmers to build broadband businesses while giving viewers more choices and control over their use of video and television. But What will be the role of the device/service provider (For example: Apple - iTune Music Store, Tivo - Video On Demand Service, Google - Google Video search engine, or other niche S/W providers)?
 
Apple Computer, which has changed the music industry with its iPod music players and iTunes music store, is trying to do the same thing in the video market. Earlier it introduced an iPod that plays videos, and launched a department in its iTunes store that sells episodes of popular TV shows, such as "Desperate Housewives" and "Lost," along with a handful of animated short films and music videos. All video offerings sell for $1.99 apiece. While the iTunes video library is limited today, it's clear that Apple's approach is shaking up the entertainment industry and a new distribution model is emerging for video.
 
==Driving Force==
*[[Advertising]]
 
====Name====
Advertising Business Model
====Enablers====
The advertising model is extremely simple and very attractive: You simply put your 30 second commercial in front of the video.
====Inhibitors====
The recent survey shows nearly 90% of major consumer brand marketers market their wares via video AD on cell phones. And there is one obvious carrot, offering credits to decrease a user's cell-phone bill, to motivate consumers to accept ads relevant to them.
 
====Paradigms====
For example: Google Video head Jennifer Feikin said at a conference that video content would be offered on a pay-per-view model, with content owners setting the price. And in April, when the company solicited videos from users, uploaders were asked to tag the files with a per-view price. Brightcove's system combines software tools for producing and distributing video with methods for making money.<BR>

*[[Internet Technology]]
 
====Name====
Broadband expansion
====Enablers====
The development of IPTV and other Internet-based methods of delivery is driven by the increasingly widespread availability and maturity of broadband. On the global stage, broadband is a major driving force behind the growing round of mergers and acquisitions among TMT (technology-media-telecom) companies. The days when services were delivered via specific devices - TV, radio, telephone - are almost gone. An age is dawning when multimedia services will be available via a range of devices, such as PCs, mobile phones and digital TVs.
====Inhibitors====
 
====Paradigms====
It is not difficult to see the advantages: The European Commission considers wide broadband coverage across Europe as crucial for fostering growth and jobs. All EU instruments - telecoms legislation, structural and rural policy instruments - therefore need to be mobilised, in full respect of state aid rules, in a joint drive to bring broadband internet access to all Europeans, particularly in less-developed areas. This is the conclusion of “Bridging the Broadband Gap”, a European Commission Communication presented on 21 March jointly by the European Commissioners for Information Society and Media, Competition, Regional Policy and Agriculture and Rural Development. Therefore one thing is for sure - no one yet knows exactly where this broadband boom is going to take us. But corporate heavyweights all around the world are agreed that it is the future.
