'COPE' ACT FAVORS TELECOM STEERING OF WEB TRAFFIC
The US House of Representatives passes Communications Opportunity Promotion and Enhancement Act (COPE) in 2006. Legislation, if it were to become law, would allow internet service providers to control what content their customers would be allowed to view online, which websites they could use, potentially what type of information they would be allowed to send or to publish. It has been seen by many as the beginning of the end of the Internet as such, turning it into something more like cable television. The current standard, now a vast movement to protect the freedom of information online, is known as "Net Neutrality".

Sentido anticipates increasing convergence between moving and broadcast media and the static, readable internet. It is with this in mind that we have begun planning the launch of a "Sentido TV" digital platform for online posting and reader download of moving news footage and reporting.

Sentido's aim to extend its service into broadcast format multimedia stems from the belief that information is valuable in itself and that providing information over multiple channels liberates the audience that consumes such information. Sentido will not reduce its textual offerings, but will provide enhanced complementary audio-visual coverage of key stories.
