Seamless Content Consumption Across Media Delivery Channels and Devices Using Media Bundles

Bundled services like Triple Play, the rise of Internet video, and the increasing number of intelligent consumer devices such as personal video recorders and video-enabled mobile phones, are radically changing the way video is delivered and consumed. Convergence of video and data will enable providers to offer many new services. We first examine what types of new services and functionalities consumers desire. We then introduce an approach called Seamless Content Consumption based on the concept of media bundles and outline how these requirements can be addressed using this approach.
