For example, zBand's advanced error correction technologies enable service providers to optimize the reliability of their broadcast Internet delivery mechanisms in order to match application and service types and customer expectations. Thus Gold Services can be created that offer high levels of guaranteed QoS and that carry a premium price. Other types of services, such as basic High Speed Internet Access, may need to be priced more competitively. In these cases, zBand enables service providers to dial down the amount of error correction and assign lower bandwidth priorities to the content or program. The applications and new services opportunities presented by the convergence of broadcast and broadband technologies are hardly limited to those discussed here.
New opportunities arise constantly as the convergence gains speed.
