Speaker Presentations - Digital-TV and Broadband Conference
21-22 March 2012
Please note: All presentations made in Nordic languages will be simultaneously translated to English.
WEDNESDAY MARCH 21:
Part 1:How to secure private investments for reaching the targets of the Digital Agenda?
European cable TV companies have invested billions of Euros in new infrastructures and now deliver digital services to more than 67 million homes. This proves cable TV to be the most important infrastructure for reaching the EU Digital Agenda targets of Super Broadband to everyone.
Part 2: How to ensure the best cable customer experiences in a time where everything is changing?
Part 3: Network usage explodes and the networks are full. Who will pay for avoiding trafficjams and ensure the best service quality for users?
Network usage is exploding and the annual growth is more than 60 %, with video delivered from content owners (OTT) as the main driver. This creates a quite different pressure both on capacity and economics of the roll-out, as well as a new focus on who will pick up the bill for the extended capacity, which is required to deliver high-quality content over the Internet. How could a national CDN-solution and a more effective traffic management practice solve these challenges, cmbined with new business models?

Public broadband billions gone astray?
Alisdair Munro, Director Knowledge and Technology, Virke
Billions of Kroner have been spent by municipality owned power utilities without any national governance, and many of these investments have been made in areas already covered by broadband. Could these billions have been better utilized through national political control, to secure better broadband in rural areas? Should municipality owned networks financed by tax payers’ money offer open access?

Will OTT disrupt Pay-TV?
Louise Cottrell, VP Affiliate Sales, Chello Zone
The emergence of Over-the-top (Broadband) TV platforms is unlikely to significantly disrupt the traditional revenue streams for Pay-TV, says Chello. OTT is going to be relatively small compared to traditional Pay-TV, and existing distributors will in future still have the most important role in delivering content.
