TDT between and the computer: technology trends, consumer and business around the audiovisual fiction in Spain

Abstract

Distributional dynamics and audiovisual consumption have recently been significant changes caused by media convergence and the Internet as a crosscutting indispensable for the transmission of signals. One area which is seen with particular clarity in communicating these changes is the audiovisual fiction. The present article is a study of the technological components, political and economic factors that currently affect the creation and movement of fiction in Spain. The results indicate three important issues: first, the standardization of the Internet as platform audiovisual transmission mechanism, second: the lack of a solid fiction industry, unable to approach new markets and third, the absense of appropriate regulatory policies to effectively manage des operation current dynamics of production and market.
