IDOS-2012-agenda-ITV&MPA - early regis · expand the scope of IDPS (India Digital Pay-TV Summit) and refocus our attention to the ... cable distribution, DTH, broadcast, TV ... strategies

It’s that time of the year again when we get together for one of the premier annual

gatherings of the Indian digital broadcasting and pay-TV industries. With the recent

shift in the TV ecosystem in India brought on by the official mandate to fully digitize the

four metros and the subsequent postponement of the July deadline, we decided to

expand the scope of IDPS (India Digital Pay-TV Summit) and refocus our attention to the

operator community. As a result, we are proud to announce the India Digital Operators’

Summit (IDOS) 2012. Following the change in name is a change in venue also. IDOS 2012

is being held in Goa - the land of beaches, feni and fun – at The Lalit between the 20th

and 22nd of September.

In keeping with the subject of change, our theme for the Summit is ‘The Digital Dawn’.

Participants include leaders from the regulatory, cable distribution, DTH, broadcast, TV

distribution and technology segments along with content providers and investors of the

broadcasting and pay-TV industries. At the dawn of this emerging digital ecosystem,

IDOS 2012 will not only bring to light the pertinent issues faced by the industry but

delegates will also gain insight into how other key Asian markets have succeeded in their

digital transitions. In short, the Summit aims to bring together the market leaders of

innovation in the digital space in an attempt to ensure a bright and successful future.

THE DIGITAL DAWNIndia’s TV ecosystem is

stepping it up on digitalization

- A DIGITAL ECOSYSTEM

Key Themes

A perfectly functioning digital TV ecosystem incorporates the push and pull of

distribution, content, technology and finance in relatively perfect harmony. How

realistic is this in India as there is a headlong rush to meet short-term deadlines,

sometimes at the expense of long-term goals and value? Where does the industry

need to move in terms of differentiated content, technology and financing to make

digitalization truly the next big consumer transformation play for Indian media?

now. How will this become a practicable reality?
