What is Happening with Television?
More streaming, less scheduled viewing• Even sports events being viewed on alternate devices now
48% of people doing other activities on a 2nd screen while watching TV (Multimedia Research Group)• Mostly not related to the first screen right now, but soon?
Mobility and the Cloud have place‐shifted and device‐shifted TV and content consumption
The social‐TV‐interaction model is changing in this new world…

Japan: Past, Present, Future
• Vast history of innovation has been a model for the rest of world– Photo/Video Messaging– True five nines deployments– Scalable email installations
• Japan currently dealing with the encroachment of OTT solutions (Line, facebook, google)– Expect similar solutions, competition,
and co‐opetition as in other geographies• Expect Japan to lead the world again with
the integration of Television, Messaging, and Communication
• The vendors that make the Japanese service providers successful will have a significant advantage
