对广电数字化运动的几点看法——兼谈对信息时代的数字技术标准化意义的反思

从信息革命的角度对于当前这场广电数字化运动做定位分析。对当前数字电视领域中的一些有争议的问题提出了看法。如,公共平台与收费平台的关系,服务平台的统一,整体平移,外来标准和自主标准,数字标准的统一等。提出了对标准化意义的反思。指出,在信息时代,给社会和技术带来进步的往往是追求标准化的过程,而不是标准建立的事实本身。近几年来,许多人已经开始意识到工业时代标准化的“旧瓶”,已经很难装下信息时代数字技术的“新酒”。标准化的工作要有一种新思维来适应信息社会的变化和特点。

View of Digitization Movement of Broadcasting Television--A Second Thought on the Significance of Standardization of the Digital Technology in the information Era

The author provides an analysis of the current digitization movement of the broadcasting television from the perspective of the information revolution. The author also gives his own viewpoints on various debatable issues in the digital television front, such as the relations between public platform and the paid platform, the unification of the service platform, the wholesale transformation, the import standard, self developed standard, the unification of the DTV standard, etc. At the end, the author gives a second thought on the significance of the standardization in the digital age. The paper points out that, in the era of the digital revolution, it is the process of the digitization process that brings the progress to the technology and the society rather than the fact of the establishment of the digital standards. It also points out that the way of the standardization process from the industry age cannot fit in with that of the digital technology in the information age. A new way of thinking in the standardization process is needed to meet the change and characteristics of the information society.
