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.
Scott Lorson CEO of FetchTV, which incorporates Netflix in its IPTV service, will be joined by Presto director Shaun James, Stan CEO Mike Sneesby, Quickflix chairman Stephen Langsford and Network Ten’s chief digital officer Rebekah Horne.
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 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.
