Beskrivning

This book discusses opportunities for broadcasters that arise with the advent of broadband networks, both fixed and mobile. It discusses how the traditional way of distributing audio-visual content over broadcasting networks has been complemented by the usage of broadband networks. The author shows how this also gives the possibility to offer new types of interactive or so-called nonlinear services. The book illustrates how change in distribution technology is accelerating the need for broadcasters around the world to adapt their content distribution strategy and how it will impact the portfolios of content they offer.

Recensioner i media

"It is Beutler's deep understanding of the special circumstances of PSBs and the complexities of the broadcast value chain that make this such a worthwhile book. ... he is not part of the 'pull up the drawbridge' PSB fraternity, who regard the mobile industry as eating away at public assets for commercial gain. He ... makes a plea for broadcasters to remain engaged in the industry and standards groups that will determine the future of distribution channels in their medium." (Martin Sims, Policy Tracker, policytracker.com, December, 2016)
