A key common feature to the debates over digital TV (DTV) in the United States, Western Europe and Japan was the eventual victory of the ideas of digitalism (the superiority of everything digital over everything analogue) and of digital convergence (the merging of computing, telecommunications and broadcasting infrastructures made possible by digitalization) in public debates over standards. Jeffrey Hart's book shows how nationalism and regionalism combined with digitalism to produce three different and incompatible DTV standards in the three regions, an outcome which has led to missed opportunities in developing the new technologies. Hart's book contributes to our understanding of relations between business and government, and of competition between the world's great economic powers. 517 3 $aTechnology, Television, & Competition 606 $aHigh definition television$zUnited States 606 $aHigh definition television$xGovernment policy$zUnited States 606 $aHigh definition television$zEurope 606 $aHigh definition television$xGovernment policy$zEurope 606 $aHigh definition television$zJapan 606 $aHigh definition television$xGovernment policy$zJapan 606 $aCompetition, International 615 0$aHigh definition television 615 0$aHigh definition television$xGovernment policy 615 0$aHigh definition television 615 0$aHigh definition television$xGovernment policy 615 0$aHigh definition television 615 0$aHigh definition television$xGovernment policy 615 0$aCompetition, International. 676 $a384.55 700 $aHart$b Jeffrey A.$0148217 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910450045103321 996 $aTelevision, technology, and competition$92480402 997 $aUNINA
