Abstract

The cultural paradigm we experience today is absolutely different from that one where television and all its formats were created: Internet and all its functionalities have improved communication and the broadcast services nowadays are, also, not the same as they were. Television has found its way of neo-omnipresence -- not only by its now old standards, but using the global network to reach every single worldwide untouched spot. Parallel to all this, what was predicted by almost two decades ago has come finally true: collaboration and collectivity are the new recognizable patterns of the World Wide Web ethics. These patterns, these ways, have received the alias of Web 2.0, and represent, now, what is the newest among Internet subjectivity standards. This paper, therefore, seeks to demonstrate the likely changes unleashed by the mixing of these technologic formats with TV. The proposed application, called A3TV (formerly known as RNPTV), developed under Brazilian National Research Network (Rede Nacional de Ensino e Pesquisa -- RNP) supervision, aims to scale the TV experience, by bringing its content anytime (delivering it in a service integrated with video-on-demand), accessible from anywhere (different platforms and with viewers globally spread) and made by anyone (being able to be managed by users on an Internet community).
