Enabling Change Smartly Contents
I am delighted to welcome you once again to the ABU Digital Broadcasting Symposium and to the regional broadcast technology hub in Kuala Lumpur. The ABU is a non-profit, non-government, professional association of broadcasting organisations. We facilitate the development of broadcasting in the Asia-Pacific region and we also organise co-operative activities amongst our members, currently more than 270 members in 65 countries.
Message from the ABU Secretary-General
This eleventh edition of the annual ABU Digital Broadcasting Symposium is one such activity we undertake for the benefit of our members and other stakeholders in the broadcasting industry in the region and beyond.
The rapid technological developments that are influencing the media landscape bring challenges and opportunities to the broadcasting industry. New technologies and the infrastructures based on them pave the way to new value-added services for broadcasters. Converged technologies offer media opportunities to telecommunication operators bringing competition to incumbent broadcasters. Viewers and audiences have more choice and opportunity to access content, including premium services.
Over-the-air broadcasting is often threatened by lack of frequencies available to offer new and future services such as 4K. The ABU together with other partners are making efforts to secure access to broadcast spectrum to maintain plurality and access to information. Once again, DBS-2015 has dedicated a session on spectrum issues and a number of experts will discuss these issues, which the ABU will raise with the World Broadcasting Unions (WBU) and at the next World Radiocommunication Conference, WRC-15.
With multiple devices and delivery platforms, social media consumption habits are changing. More information and choice are now available to people. However, it is the duty of the broadcaster to offer fast, reliable and accurate information to its viewers and listeners. Though it is a delicate balance and a professional judgement, the process can be supported by technology today.
It is imperative that broadcasters review their business models to offer their products on various delivery platforms. Legacy broadcasters can explore maturing over-the-top (OTT) to attract new customers and integrated broadcast-broadband (IBB) technologies for creating more engagement with existing customers and brand loyalty securing new types of advertising on these emerging platforms.
The 2015 ABU Digital Broadcasting Symposium explores all these exciting prospects for the broadcasting industry to go forward with new services, especially in the converging world.
We are happy to welcome participants from across the Asia-Pacific, Europe and North America, and I wish you a very productive and a successful conference.
