The MENA market.
Regional expert Chris
Forrester brings his latest
annual update on this
complex but important

are major players in all
areas including sport
rights and studio and play-
out facilities. Meantime,
media is inseparable from
complicated regional
politics with the isolation
of Qatar, and the wholesale
piracy of its content a
prime example. Pay-TV is
now beginning to power
forward and significant
investment in content and
content production facilities
continues.

quality and functionality
of each service’s discovery
application make a
competitive difference? Will
aggregation and unified UIs
emerge?

heart of live broadcast
propositions. Will this year’s

corner? Beyond UHD can
technology – including AI –
