In this month’s issue: we look at 4K/Ultra HD – could this be the year that it takes off in mainstream volume?;  we present a round-up of the latest developments in Latin America where a mixed picture for pay-TV is totally balanced out by growing OTT and VOD markets driven by young and increasingly mobile markets with a huge appetite for video; we see whether 2018 is likely to be a pivotal year for operators who are ready to move away from proprietary middleware and embrace Android TV; how the broadcast industry can capitalise on content via multiple monetisation strategies; and we point out what may be the likely big advertising trends that will shape TV in 2018 and the opportunities that they will present.
