The Digital NetworkThe way we consume filmed entertainment has shifted from from same-time, same-day tune-in to on-demand viewing. Recent technology allows nearly anyone to create filmed entertainment content and to distribute it via the Web. The digital network, as an alternative to traditional broadcast and cable television networks, is emerging as a platform for discovering and accessing this new world of content. Establishing strategies and procedures for obtaining rights from content creators and contributors, branding and marketing the network and content, global distribution of content, and content monetization, among others things, require learning from the past while accommodating, and attempting to predict, the future of entertainment.
