The first article, entitled, "The 4 dimensions of interactivity", which appeared in Dutch trade magazine Broadcast Magazine on February 23, 2001, attempts to provide insight into the dynamic aspects of 4 different media dimensions and the role broadcasters may perform in them. These include: broadcast media, point-to-point stream, buffered media and networked media. The latter is a combination of all three other media and is believed by fyber to be the most prevailing one.

Who says Americans are loud? Jim Griffin, CEO, Cherry Lane Digital and Co-Chair of Evolab certainly is one of the most inspiring (and loud) ex-music industry experts I've ever met. In his opening speech at DDMI in London on 22nd May of 2000, Jim made it clear to the audience that the future is digital delivery - not digital distribution! Jim believes in "celestial jukeboxi", which will employ flat-fee pull and not transaction-based push.  
View his speech: 56k, 100k or 300k
