Has IBC come at a good time for the electronic media industry? Why? We are at the crux of some significant steps forward for the industry and for Europe. The growth of the hybrid initiative, Ultra Violet, and the proliferation of connected devices – smart TV, phones, PCs and tablets – is leading the industry toward a greater level of advance entertainment services.
