We have a strong interest in digital broadcasting as a means of decreasing the average effective latency and increasing the average effective speed of the Internet. 

In our vision of 'the television as a robot servant,' the broadcast receiver, whether that be a digital television, a desktop PC, or a mobile device, can store information that is cached for the user. This means essentially zero latency and infinite speed on some information. 

The engineering task is to understand what information can be automatically cached without user hassle. With storage device capacity growing, solid models of such automated caching (caching without a user setting preferences) are now worth study. Some examples we have identified after over a dozen years study: the weather where you are standing, stores and other businesses near you home, your place of work, where you visit, and along the paths you take to those places (this is the subject of several patents). 

We are currently working on a coherent information selection and caching architecture suitable for the Internet in years to come and for the means of securely providing this information to local device storage in order to provide expected lower latency and higher speeds to higher quality information on the Internet.
