Video bosses to talk state of streaming at Mumbrella360
Australia’s biggest players in the streaming video market will come together in a panel at next month’s Mumbrella360 conference.

Video streaming has captured many headlines in recent days with new leaked Hitwise data appearring to show Netflix already well ahead of all its SVOD rivals and the free-TV catch up players, in terms of audience, and a major consolidation in the market with Quickflix announcing today it will become a reseller of Presto.
The State Of Streaming panel will where the streaming market is up to in Australia, what impact is streaming having on other media, what role the telco players are having on the SVOD market, will SVOD ever have advertising within its content and will Australian streaming players look to create their own content. The session will be moderated by Mumbrella deputy editor Nic Christensen.
The Mumbrella360 conference takes place at the Hilton Hotel in Sydney on June 3 and 4. Further details are available on the Mumbrella360 website.
The arrival of SVOD is showing up the weaknesses in our broadband services and things can only get worse. We need a ubiquitous, fast Internet not just for watching TV but also in order to develop our digitally enabled economy.
