IPTV and nation control

The ITU(International Telecommunication Union) will transform IPTV into global common standard. This means you can watch any channel around the world no matter where you are.

One segment broadcasting is now spread in Japan and devises such as internet TV enables us to watch TV outside living rooms. If so, how will the prime time be interpreted? Not only programs that broadcast from 20:00 acquire the most audience rate. I presume that we will be able to watch programs when ever you want, and programs spend more money on advertising itself. Basically TV programs turn into Podcast system and mobile devises with high quality screen become common.

Then what will the mass media and the government do? News programs need to be extremely reliable or much more interesting. This measure will become more important to control the nation. There will be less programs being watched by all the family members everyday in the dining room. For instance I'm only subscribing to interesting news programs on podcasts. The reasons are that the quality of visual images are good, or it has powerful impact.
Now, there are movies showing Olympic torch being blown away on youtubes and many other video sharing sites. It could be seen in different directions depending on who and how the video was taken, or edited. In this age of multimedia with multi choices of information sources, you must ce cautious how to manage them.
