The medium that in itself has probably had the major impact on cultural life in the past 50 years, television, is about to be deeply transformed.

From a medium that has been driven from its inception by mass production and distribution economics, we are witnessing a transformation into something altogether different from what we have been trained to expect.


Not only television as we know it is being decoupled from time and time-based schedules and programming.

It is also being turned upside down and inside out by opening itself to the contribution and influence of programming being produced outside of traditional large production houses.

The broadcasting paradigm is being reversed into a user-centered scenario in which it is the viewer who builds, selects, schedules and redistributes video, film and rich-media contents from an infinitely broader pool of producers that we could have ever imagined. The distribution model of broadcasting, ‘one to many’, is being slowly but unstoppably converted into one of ‘many to many’.

Cybersky-TV is TV as it has always been, just distributed differently.

Making TV has always been a costly affair, particularly the distribution of it to the viewers.

There are more Peer-to-Peer TV initiatives out there (like CyberSky, Coolstreaming, DTV / Broadcast Machine from Participatory Culture and Kedora ), which are listed on http://www.tv-free.org/
