09:55 Keynote: Broadcasting Regulations in India & its Challenges TRAI’s effort to adopt a new regulatory framework for pay-TV pricing, aimed at making life easier for viewers, has some challenges yet. While critics say the new tariff regime could have negative repercussions, especially in consumer choice, TRAI is hopeful the minor glitches could be ironed out, with more support from the industry. What problems does the regulator see, which need to be remedied by the new regulatory approaches? What are TRAI’s goals for future development of the broadcast industry? On other issues, what will be the future direction for regulation on curated online video services? Is it possible to protect consumers’ privacy online? And can the government’s policy to improve Ease of Doing Business, as so correctly recommended by TRAI, really be implemented?

Dr. R. S. Sharma, Chairman, Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI)

With John Medeiros, Chief Policy Officer, Asia Video Industry Association (AVIA)


10:15 The Reinvention of Free to Air in Asia The future of TV is digital. Fuelled by pressing competition from online video platforms, this transformation touches every cornerstone of the TV business, from content production and delivery to relationships with advertisers. What are broadcasters doing to retain linear audiences? How are they adapting to the linear-online consumption shift: is VOD seen as the future of broadcasting? How are they utilising multiple data sources to understand and exploit new opportunities? What are the prospects for local providers in the face of global competition?

Many are increasingly worried about seeing the value of their investments being leached away by concerted piracy attacks. But what do they need to do to stop pirates from stealing their lunch? In this session with Astro, we look at piracy issues in Asia and how the industry can adopt a new perspective to fighting piracy. How can business models be redefined that renders piracy toothless?

What can the TV Industry Learn from the Music Industry’s Transformation?

20 years ago, despite internet connection speeds that were painfully slow, they were fast enough to decimate the music industry through piracy, and ultimately force them into new business models that none of the stakeholders would willingly have chosen. The similarities are uncanny. Today’s broadband speeds are more than a match for lightning fast transfers of 4k video files and we face an epidemic of video piracy worse than anything we’ve seen before. Is the video industry heading in the same direction and if so, what can we learn from the music industry to prevent the same fate? Panellists: Shad Hashmi, SVP, Digital Services Global Distribution, BBC Studios Simon Robinson, Managing Director, Discovery Asia Pacific & Chief Financial Officer, Discovery International Rohit D'silva, CEO, TraDigital Media With Louis Boswell, CEO, Asia Video Industry Association (AVIA)

Greg Armshaw, Head of Media, Asia, Brightcove

12:10

What is the Right Business Model? How do we Best Monetise Content? With a mature, and in some places, declining Pay TV industry, how do new business models arise to augment and one day potentially replace existing ones? Consumer frustrations have moved from committing to big bundles to fragmentation, content discovery and multiple OTT subscriptions. Will the balance between subscription and advertising change in the search for the best means of monetisation?

14:10 Social is the New Reach: The Future of Video in Asia Pacific Today 2.5 billion viewers worldwide are consuming video on social platforms, generating trillions of views.

In this session we’ll share never-before-seen insights into the Asia Pacific region and opportunities to grow and monetise audiences in this high-growth sector.

14:30

AVOD: Asia’s Rising Star There is currently a strong appetite among streaming providers in Asia Pacific to launch AVOD services, as a standalone offering or in support of traditional free to air businesses. In this session, we explore if the AVOD business model is where the real money is. How do we make it work in Asia, what scale d o you need to have and what is the economy with that?

Ultimately, to merge linear and online TV into one – one metric, one platform and one team. Case studies will be featured.

09:50 The Future of Video – Aggregation and Subscription

What is the future of the subscription business model in Asia? With Pay TV on the defensive and piracy running rampant, is the very future of subscription under threat? Or is it a question of product offering, aggregation and delivery? Moving forward, do the traditional Pay TV aggregators reinvent themselves and live to fight another day, or is the mantle taken on by the mobile telcos for whom subscription video is a new business? Or does aggregation happen with a DTC offering – Netflix, Disney + HBO Max or….?

What Happens when Broadcast and OTT

Converge?

In today's rapidly changing world, we are seeing an evolution in the video industry which is changing the way we process and distribute content. The use of IP has become ubiquitous, software applications are pervasive, and the cloud has become a choice for certain applications and use cases. We are seeing the worlds of broadcast and OTT converge and it is happening quicker than we can imagine. In this session, we look at how the evolution to embrace cloud technologies could help build a new stack common to both broadcast and broadband environments and how this will provide new opportunities to content providers, broadcasters, Pay-TV operators and OTT players.

In this session, we explore why content discovery is a key differentiator in the video sector. What will the role of technology like AI play in helping media companies to enhance their ability to deliver discoverable content to consumers quickly and easily? Should Android TV be the choice right now? Charles Dawes, Senior Director – International Marketing, TiVo Sponsored by:

Monetising from Cash Based Markets

Asian countries such as India, Philippines, Indonesia and Vietnam are markets of staggering potential, but challenges persist when it comes to deploying effective subscription business models in these markets. The majority of consumers in these markets prefer to use cash for all their payments and penetration of credit cards is low. How can video streaming providers capture and monetise this group of consumers? What innovation can be done that makes it easy for people to pay with cash for content? Michael Greco, VP, Asia Pacific, Vindicia Sponsored by:

The News Industry: The Challenges and Opportunities that Remain News has always been a unique content genre as it engages with consumers at different times, in different ways and was the earliest adopter of delivering content over the internet. Where is the video news industry today? While news has become all pervasive, what are the real means of monetisation? What is the relationship with social media companies that have prospered on the back of news content, but have also brought that content to more people than ever before? And what value today is there in a brand? Is the future of the news industry in Asia one of independence and balance, or do we start to follow the American model? And is there a greater need than ever for clear signposts to distinguish reliable and trust-worthy news sources from the plethora of fake news that exists today?

However, as with all new innovation, it is all too easy to fall into the trap of innovation for innovation’s sake.
