India, IPTV, I...


थे स्लुम्दोग फेनोम इस इन फुल व्फ्फेक्ट नोटाइम तो राच आउट एंड तौच सोमेबोदिएस हार्ट विथ थे ब्रिल्लिंस ऑफ़ जात एन्तेर्तैन्मेंट परफॉर्मेंस.

Superstarcase firmly believes in the promise of talent all around the world. We have been blessed to see some profoundly moving performances from practically every corner of the planet. So moving they were, that we have been inspired to create a vehicle that will help bring them to broader, receptive audiences in other countries. The internet has allowed for the tearing down of imaginary walls that have once separated and isolated societies from one another. Though the powers that be in many places, still remain in control, the stagnation of intellectual properties and their display is fast eroding.

When the mind longs to be free, how can physical restraint, duress or coercion, even at its worst, ever win. Here on this blog we seek the passionate, the desirous, those who need to express themselves, who need to display their passions, love and grace to the rest of the world. We seek, the formidable talent of beloved India.

SUPERSTARCASE.COM, Superstarcase.org and the Talent-Olympics.org collectively, all immerse themselves deeply into what are the underpinnings of the global entertainment industry. By combining the talents, creativity & ingenuity of parties to these three groups, we begin to see clearly a metamorphosis of the kind of content that has been with us for a substantial time. Seeking to replace the delivery of that content, and become the delivery system that inures to the benefit of a global audience we have IPTV, a new structure many would say, devised by the "powers that be". Internet Protocol Television, the system where digital television service is delivered using Internet Protocol over a network infrastructure.

An even better description from Wikipedia:

IPTV
(Internet Protocol Television) is a system where a digital television service is delivered using Internet Protocol over a network infrastructure, which may include delivery by a broadband connection. A general definition of IPTV is television content that, instead of being delivered through traditional broadcast and cable formats, is received by the viewer through the technologies used for computer networks. For residential users, IPTV is often provided in conjunction with Video on Demand and may be bundled with Internet services such as Web access and VoIP. The commercial bundling of IPTV, VoIP and Internet access is referred to as "Triple Play" service (when these three are offered with mobility, the service is referred to as "Quadruple Play"). IPTV is typically supplied by a service provider using a closed network infrastructure. This closed network approach is in competition with the delivery of TV content over the public Internet, called Internet Television. In businesses, IPTV may be used to deliver television content over corporate LANs.

Neat idea. Lot's of promise. Tons of potential, but already there may be signs of trouble brewing ahead. I've noticed ads to find executives to find content for this "new" system, ads from all over the world. As India is one of the most prolific content providers in the world, I chose to bring this issue up here in this blog. Of course Europe and my own country are no slouches in this department either. India, however, seems to have a special affinity for the Internet and byproducts that come as a result of its' proliferation. Psssst....hey potential IPTV Content Acquisition exec's, perhaps the content you seek is right in your face, right under your noses.

Superstarcase has been developing this kind of content we speak of for the past 11 years in the hopes of also developing a delivery system worthy of its delivery. Unable earlier to breach the doors of those at the level necessary to make the "powers that be" aware of what we propose, we sit patiently, tinkering away in our little workshop. Tinkering away until opportunity presents itself. Don't really know if this is opportunity time or not, but...

Who stole (or is about to steal) the cookie from the cookie jar?

February 2010

The economic climate that permeates current day society, brings new meaning to the expression "pressurized". Things are further exacerbated by more turmoil brewing in the banking, health care and just plain employment sectors where, all around, nothing seems to be going well at all.

It sort of feels like deciding to walk while wearing "two left shoes". Check it. You know it's an idiotic thing to do. People will look at you, they'll laugh at you and ultimately, after you've had enough, you'll take one off, but just for a time, you want to do something crazy. Why? Because these are the times that mandate it.

Absolutely no sense at all. Maybe one day normalcy will return, but today is not that day.
With all else that's going on in this crazy world of ours, now it seems the Presidents program of "Cash for Clunkers" is about to go bust. Not really sure it was a good idea in the first place, if the figure that was up for grabs was $2,500 and not $4,500 it might have prolonged the program a bit more and perhaps even given some hope and help to those who would even accept crumbs at this point.

I understand he was trying to help the US auto industry and all that, but why, really? It seems a more equitable dispensation of any available funds would have been better spent, going through the communities most devastated by the shenanigans of the former, free world leader (?) It might have even been prudent to make some of those in Detroit who actually benefited over the last few years to first voluntarily "contribute" a donation of say, $4,500 smackers.

If not voluntary than something a little more forceful, maybe a little visit form Tony Soprano and his boys (hahaha, now you know I'm just teasing). Anyway, to get down to "brass tacks", my most pressing concern has to do with the survival and flourishing of performing artists of every ilk, in all of this madness.

Yes, there sure are a lot of things that sound really good, but hold them close to the light and you'd better be extra careful, least you find out that the bag that contains them within is highly combustible and once exploded will really do a singe job on your head, ten times worst than Micheal's (Pepsi Commercial)?

Come on people, get with the program). All these fancily duded up social network players really come off like just some more slicker than slick hair grease, touting the same tired bull shit message,"a lil' dab will do ya"! What it seems they mean to say is: "a little dab and WE'LL do ya".

Funny how there seems to be no credible download charts anywhere which accurately tell the story about who and how many downloads anywhere are being sold by anybody. I don't know, but maybe that's just my paranoia. I already have enough trouble trying to collect mechanical s, synchronization rights, royalties etc from the plethora of other "hooray's out there. Oh but don't worry baby, "I'm coming for you", you best believe it.

Just a little hint for you, artists you'd better start thinking about extending your image, your name and your career to every little corner around the globe. An explosion of opportunity is coming so you'd better keep both eye's op and be prepared. If you stay ready you don't have get ready. Superstarcase says be ready!
