Hyper-Local Online Video and the Future of
TV
Seekingalpha.com 01 Dec 09
Broadcasters are about to experience the equivalent of the Big
Bang, warns Akamai Technologies CEO Paul Sagan, a broadcast and
cable veteran whose company facilitates more than one-fifth of
the world's Web traffic. The ability to match high-definition TV
picture quality with Internet interactivity is creating a sea
change for online video that will begin rippling through the
television industry in 2010. Only TV station owners that leap to
the new arena, playing the strength of their hyper-local
connections, will survive. In his keynote address to the Monaco
Media Forum earlier this month, Sagan said local broadcasters,
content providers and advertisers are not embracing
interactivity to better connect with consumers and derive new
value. These points also were made during a panel on targeting I
moderated also at the Monaco Media Forum.
