The Indian TV Industry is at a crossroads. On one hand, Broadcasters have hiked their channel prices post-Trai’s New Tariff Order 2.0, defeating the very purpose of making TV more affordable to the masses. On the other, the rapid adoption of Broadband is fueling the growth of Digital Platforms like YouTube, Facebook, WhatsApp, as well as OTTs. Amid all this, there are the DPOs who are fearing a loss of their livelihood due to cord-cutting by consumers. A new range of 5G services via mobile wireless is also rising on the horizon, ready to disrupt existing ways of doing Business Digitally as well as getting Entertained.
This year’s Video & Broadband Summit will delve deep to get a perspective on some of these key issues, including the Rising Cost of Video Entertainment, Changing Business Models and Revenue Models, Value-Added Services, and getting back to basics in a Post-Pandemic World. It will also discuss the concerns and opportunities around the 5G Teleco Threat, Virtual MVPDs, Cable TV’s Technology and Back-End Challenges, DPO’s Marketing Drive, and the gradual expansion of Over the Top (OTT) Platforms.
