introduction the connected world supplement The IBCConnected World @ IBC2011


‘Connected world’ products and services will be a key focus of exhibits at this year’s IBC. This supplement looks, in general, at this technology and the business models it supports, and includes the Official Guide to the IBC Connected World (Hall 13 at IBC2011). The revolution in the CE industry, combined with explosions within IP-based and broadband distribution technologies, are driving new


consumer viewing habits and the ability to consume content over any device, any time, anywhere. The IBC Connected World unites previous IPTV, broadband and mobile technologies, to provide organisations with the opportunity to highlight


technology innovations from a consumer content experience perspective, whilst demonstrating how the broadcast industry can embrace new digital technologies to deliver the ultimate connected viewing experience. In addition, the Connected World Business Briefings discuss and debate how developed and emerging disruptive technologies find their place


within the overall broadcast industry value chain, together with the commercialisation of multiple platform content delivery and associated new business models. IBC is the premier annual event for professionals engaged in the creation, management and delivery of entertainment and news content


worldwide. Building upon this foundation, The IBC Connected World showcases the leaders and companies who demonstrate how new and developing connected technologies and connected devices can deliver the ultimate connected content experience, whilst leveraging the commercial opportunities enabled within the Connected World environment. Cisco’s move to The IBC Connected World - as Platinum Sponsor - clearly demonstrates that this sector is the focus of the largest, most experienced and most professional companies operating in the wider broadcast market.
