I am part of an Al-Jazerra English programme called Empire. See below. I am in the second part about half way through around 27 minutes. Needless to say despite the economic issues in the US and the rise of other economies I don't think the US tech sector is set to be overrun anytime soon....

First came the introduction of round-the-clock broadcast news channels which left scheduled TV bulletins scrabbling for scoops. The arrival of the internet supplanted TV's ability to be first with the news. Now smart phones and instant communication technologies has empowered the citizen to be first with the news or even to make the news, putting Twitter and Facebook in control of the news agenda. Add to that the disruptive impact of sites like Wikileaks which wrests control of the news agenda from state authorities and you have an explosive cocktail whose impact has yet to be fully assessed. How do traditional news broadcasters and agencies respond, and what are the pressures of second-by-second updates having on news production?

Connected TV: Re-making the TV industry: the battle for the home screen

Date: 10 September 2011

Time: 09:30 - 11:00

Location: Forum

With the introduction of connected TV products, a multi-dimensional a battle is breaking out for the attention of the TV viewer. The battleground is the default screen on the consumer’s primary TV and the role of all the secondary screens that will hang off of it.

Traditional broadcasters, pay TV operators, OTT players like Blinkbox and Netflix, as well as Google TV, games consoles, and mainstream consumer electronics organisations are all in the fight to be the ‘home’ EPG for viewers. What are the tactics of each of those players and what kind of partnerships might be created as audiences demand more flexibility in how they access, view and interact with content? What role will pay and free propositions play? Will the winning business have excellence in service aggregation and navigation/discovery of content, be technically innovative have breadth of distribution or access to premium content rights? Perhaps it is simply a matter of marketing dollars and brand power that will ultimately win out? Picking a strategy against all those unknowns is not for the foolhardy. Improve your chances, join the debate.
