Abstract

[eng] This article quantifies the costs and benefits of an open, interoperable digital television standard by constructing an economic model for six markets : broadeast, cable television, display, VCRs, personal computers, and workstations. The model estimates an open, interoperable standard for digital television will reduce average costs by 21 percent while increasing sales by 27 percent. This results from cost decreases of interoperable parts as a function of accumulated production inducing greater production. Other benefits, such as enabling multimedia applications and services, are not quantified, and will require further research and analysis. [fre] Cet article quantifie les coûts et bénéfices d'une norme de télévision digitale ouverte et interopérable en construisant un modèle économique pour six marchés : radio, câble, spectacle, vidéo, ordinateur personnel et station de travail. Le modèle estime qu'une norme de télévision digitale ouverte et interopérable réduira les coûts de 21% tout en accroissant les ventes de 27%. Ceci résulte de réductions de ventes des composants interopérables en fonction de la production cumulative. D'autres bénéfices, comme de rendre possibles des applications et services multimédia, n'ont pas été quantifiés, ceci impliquant des recherches et analyses ultérieures.
