General Questions
What is IPTV?
IPTV is "Internet Protocol TV" – watching television via signal delivered to your TV along new digital networks. Why is that special? Because it changes the way you can enjoy your media. Before you had to watch only what "they" told you to watch, when "they" told you to watch it. Now, you choose the content that best fits your preferences, and watch it when you want, where you want - in your home, your office, at a cafe, on a business trip. Content from everywhere that you can take anywhere, it`s revolutionary! Millions of people around the world have made the switch. Your community is making the switch, too.
Why Does this New Service Even Exist?
Communities around the world are looking for ways to connect, to have common shared experiences, and to have meaningful interaction. Individuals want to stay in touch with their communities and their roots. And we all want to learn more about the world around us. The mission of the World On-Demand is to assist communities and individuals in making this happen.
What is a "Community Focus"?
The World On-Demand brings communities to the forefront of the media mix for the first time by delivering focused, meaningful and interactive media experiences that communities want. There is no such thing as "one size fits all." People`s brains, tastes, backgrounds and interests just don`t match everyone else`s – we don`t live in a mass production machine. The human race interacts and intersects more than we ever have before. Whether you are in your home country or living abroad, whether your community is defined by common hobbies or common ancestry, media experiences can now be delivered to groups of people in ways that are most meaningful to them.
Who Operates the World On-Demand?
The World On-Demand is brought to you by The New Media Group (TNMG), a dynamic and customer-focused interactive media company headquartered in Tokyo, Japan. But its really YOU – the customers and the communities – that truly operate the World On-Demand. It`s through your feedback, your ideas, and your initiative that TNMG is able to provide this IPTV and interactive media service to you.
