How the Digital Revolution is Disrupting the TV Industry Suman Mishra
This is a BCG report on the TV industry in US and it talks about how the TV industry has seen “shifts” from inception, but this time the pace with which its changing is so different. It has done ample surveys and has lot of verified facts which makes this report so rich and conclusive.
The core trends fueling disruption this time are
a. Online and mobile will exceed Facilities based viewing
b. On demand viewing will exceed live, linear viewing
c. New companies and business models in online viewing
d. Networks are experiencing the collapse of the middle and rise of “long tail”
e. Content creators and right holders are capturing a greater value share than ever
The 4 disruptive scenarios in making which will “accelerate” the change are
a. The universal remote: Global, all-inclusive navigation solving the discovery problem
b. The walled garden: exclusive entertainment becomes the critical strategic asset
c. Direct to Consumer takes on traditional TV bundles
d. Live TV online

Three Amigos Mini-Case studies Case Motorola vs. Wi-Fi TakishaPeck109
Three Amigos Mini-Case studies
Case: Motorola vs. Wi-Fi
Background: Before Wi-Fi (only 15/20 years ago) computers need cumbersome wiring to networking
equipment to be connected to the internet. Wireless connectivity gave us freedom to use of our laptops
anywhere. Employees could move around the office space without any restrictions arising from cables.
Wireless network allows access to all applications and documents on your network from anywhere
inside the building within the range of the wireless network signal. With the reduction in size, the use of
Wi-Fi in tablets and smart phones added a new dimension to mobility. From the coffee shop of our
neighborhoods to our international travels we were able to connect without the often-outrageous
carrier costs as long a public hot spot available. Suddenly, public spaces to remain competitive had to
offer Wi-Fi access, otherwise they were at a disadvantage. Without any sort of Machiavellian planning a
major disruption to the cellular service providers (wireless carriers) was under way “democratizing the
access” to the internet.
Situation: Motorola up to that time was the undisputed global leader of wireless communication.
Emerging from the walkie-talkie equipment developed during the second world war (WWII), Motorola
was the provider of choice of wireless telecommunication solutions to first responders, police, military
defense communications and civilian logistical/plant operations. All in all, Motorola was the provider of
choice for wireless B-2-B communication solutions. All these equipment’s used licensed bands of the
spectrum and operated without interference as it was of exclusive use for that specific application/
customer base. For the most part Motorola customers prioritize product quality and service over price.
The opportunity: Wi-Fi was revolutionary, as it did not use licensed bandwidth, but rather operated in
an unlicensed band open to the public enabling the operation of wireless toys, home appliances,
including microwave ovens. This was perceived as not a serious wireless communication arena, as most
of the products operating in this frequency band, were perceived a “cheap toys” of poor quality and
unreliable communications.
The real opportunity for Motorola was to become the leader of wireless data communications, in the
same fashion that it was already the leader in voice communications. However, while those two modes
of communications (voice and data) have been treated separately, historically, they were coming
together as new studies from MIT and others were promoting the benefits of VOIP (Voice over the
Internet Protocol). This development would treat the voice as another data type, enabling a single type
of communication network to serve all the needs of the user: voice, data and eventually video.
The Product Concept: Imagine in the year 2000-01 a wireless phone with just Wi-Fi and WhatsApp.
Imagine the opportunity to enter emerging markets ...
New Applications and New Business Models
Whether it's LTE or WiMAX or local WISPs using combinations of Wi-Fi, WiMAX and other technologies, we are on the verge of having affordable mobile broadband in the US (it's already available in the UK and Scandinavia and becoming available elsewhere in the EU). What services can be provided over the top and what services need or can benefit from operator capabilities (QoS, security, ...)? The iPhone store, Android store and similar initiatives suggest power is shifting away from the operators and into the hands of application developers and the end user. How can operators leverage their core capabilities (QoS, security, billing, customer relationships, call detail, ...) to provide applications and remain relevant to their customers?

Rural Broadband Stimulus. Opportunities & Threats to Rural TelcosOnvoy
ANPI and Vecima Networks featured this Webinar to discuss broadband applications and sustainable business opportunities for rural telco’s exploring some of the business and technology options.
Frank Ohrtman recently completed writing $27 million worth of Broadband Stimulus grants for entities who will compete with rural telcos, and shared his insights from that experience in this Webinar.
He notes that wireless broadband enables:
* A cost per rural household reached (a prominent question on the application) of only a few hundred dollars (compare with FTTH at a few thousand dollars per household reached);
* Voice services that qualify for USF funds you might be receiving; and
* “Shovel ready” deployment schedules that cover thousands of square miles in less than a year.

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.
Kubernetes & AI - Beauty and the Beast !?! @KCD Istanbul 2024Tobias Schneck
As AI technology is pushing into IT I was wondering myself, as an “infrastructure container kubernetes guy”, how get this fancy AI technology get managed from an infrastructure operational view? Is it possible to apply our lovely cloud native principals as well? What benefit’s both technologies could bring to each other?
Let me take this questions and provide you a short journey through existing deployment models and use cases for AI software. On practical examples, we discuss what cloud/on-premise strategy we may need for applying it to our own infrastructure to get it to work from an enterprise perspective. I want to give an overview about infrastructure requirements and technologies, what could be beneficial or limiting your AI use cases in an enterprise environment. An interactive Demo will give you some insides, what approaches I got already working for real.

3. As mobile developer what would be our ideal mobile world? Ubiquitous broadband connectivity wired and wireless Bandwidth seen as free by users Consistent un-fragmented mobile platforms Mature/Useful options for monetizing content High common-denominator of devices Ubiquity of mobile phones and of smartphones It’s great if many Canadians have access to smartphones , much better if/when you could someday assume that everyone does. 3
4. What is the state of Wireless in Canada? Canada
5. Just 3years ago, the picture was grim Circa April 2007: Some of worst data rates in the developed world. A country of Blackberry addicts, but low accessibility to most advanced devices. Dominated by On-deck content, low accessibility to open content, open services. High pricing to consumers, lagging wireless penetration, lagging adoption behaviours Ouch
19. How the majors are competing Brand bamboozlement 18 Network Investment Massive handset subsidies (mostly helpful) (helpful) (not so helpful) What is missing from this picture?
22. More Canadians have access to smartphones Summer 2009 60% mobile penetration 25% smartphone penetration (Rogers) $199 entry point for high-end smartphone ( iPhone 3G w/ contract) Summer 2010 69% mobile penetration 35% smartphone penetration (Rogers) $79 entry point for high-end smartphone (HTC Desire, w/ contract) 21 Canadians are still paying the highest wireless fees in the world, but at leastwe are getting more for our money. That’s sort of like good news.
23. Your carrier is not actually a carrier, it’s a handset leasing operation disguised as a wireless carrier 22
24. Where o’ where your wireless bills goHST and handset subsidies cost more than building the network 23
25. Basically you get this year’s latest gadget in exchange for 3yrs servitude buying some data fees and a bunch of wildly overpriced minutes Average handset subsides >$500 per new subscriber “the competitive environment remained intense during the quarter with aggressive acquisition offers and deeply discounted handsets being featured in the market. In response to these competitor actions, we also lowered our average handset prices” -SiimVanaselja CFO Bell Consumers are crazy about smartphones (“if it’s not a smartphone we can’t even sell it anymore” - Rogers exec) It’s a great way to compete against the new entrants But, voice minutes are in decline (down 5% yoy) 24
26. In a world of mobile broadband, paying for voice minutes doesn’t make any sense 25 Rogers just announced 21MBps service in Canada (cool!) A standard GSM voice band requires only 12.2 kpps Notionally, that’s now less than 0.01% of your phone’s available bandwidth How long can this traditional but tiny little bit-stream continue to support 80% of the carrier’s revenue? Source CISCO forecasts 2009 With LTE *all* voice is voip, so why do you need to buy voice services from your carrier vs anybody else?
27. How a carrier makes it’s money today 26 ~2B (Rogers adjusted operation profit) ~4B (BCE operation profit)
28. Pipes vs Content 27 Wireless ( 3.4 B Revenues) Cable ( 2.0 B Revenues) Source: Rogers Q2 financial report
29. If carriers become dumb pipes, their business would be much reduced 28 Carrier operating profit (Simplified): Dumb pipes Other Fluff(voice minutes, cable subscriptions, media, publishing etc.)
30. Looking ahead: With traditional cash cows like voice in decline, where will telcos get their new fluff from? 29 Telcos are buying up broadcasters and Big Content rights holders Bell + CTV Rogers + CityTV, Chum etc. Videotron + their own stuff If you are an independent content producer, or into that whole net-nutrality thing, this trend is not especially helpful.
