Rapid TV Everywhere - September 2017
In this month’s issue: we take a look at the latest edition of the NextTV South America offering an insight as to how the Latin American TV industry is changing and expanding; we see how the OTT is changing and how broadcasters are exploring the ways in which they can extend the reach of their video content beyond its existing audience; why the media industry may be failing to anticipate and keep pace with the ever-increasing demands of ever-expanding audiences and satisfying a plethora of options; what lessons that the telecoms industry can pass on to broadcast when it comes to the move towards a new era of IP-connected, software-centric technology platforms; we unveil the new and rather scary concept of holding hacked content hostage, something which may have marked a tipping point for the industry; and finally we look at location piracy and how it could be contributing to loss of cultural identity.
