The MENA market.
Regional specialist Chris
Forrester brings his

increasingly important,

as between Qatar and its
neighbours, are assessed.
And the consequences for
regional diversification of
the international controversy
surrounding Saudi Arabia
are examined. What will
happen to investment in
tech, in broadcasting, in
content?

Blockchain: Where does in
fit in the media ecosystem?
Blockchain sometimes
seems to be presented as an
answer to every problem,
or at least an enhancer
to every solution. Others,
though, characterise it as a
high-maintenance solution
in search of a problem. Will
its intrinsic characteristics
bring benefits to workflow,
to content security, to
transactional monetisation?

Social media. Is it a
competitor or complement
to broadcasting? Skilful
use will certainly improve
audiences, and spontaneous
pick-up will certainly have
an impact – good or bad.
Meanwhile, social media is
a major alternative medium
for audiences, advertisers
and talent. Can it be tamed,
or should broadcasters
be focused on what they
can still do that social
media cannot? What has
been the impact of social
media TV; will traditional
channels migrate, are new
content propositions being
developed and working?

and others follow Netfix and
Prime into viewers homes
without intermediation,
what does the future hold for
pay-TV platforms and lesser
content brands?

the evolving role of CPE.
Some providers want to
shift the CPE workload to

the Smart Home and the
Internet of Things mean
November / December
Annual Test & Monitor
Survey. Test & Monitor is
essential to consumer QoE
and shielding the provider
from avoidable Opex and
Capex. In TV Everywhere
and OTT provision there are
so many touch points how
can a T&M provider ensure
the quality of an operator’s
service?
