Global entertainment and media practice Presentation by Price White House Coopers.
Marcel Fenez, global leader of the entertainment & media practice, talks about why there's nowhere to hide from the migration to digital, and how the economic crisis is accelerating this process.
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?

Securing your Kubernetes cluster_ a step-by-step guide to success !KatiaHIMEUR1
Today, after several years of existence, an extremely active community and an ultra-dynamic ecosystem, Kubernetes has established itself as the de facto standard in container orchestration. Thanks to a wide range of managed services, it has never been so easy to set up a ready-to-use Kubernetes cluster.
However, this ease of use means that the subject of security in Kubernetes is often left for later, or even neglected. This exposes companies to significant risks.
In this talk, I'll show you step-by-step how to secure your Kubernetes cluster for greater peace of mind and reliability.

Government, locally funded regeneration
projects (e.g. the Raploch Estate in Stirling).
All requiring:
- social inclusion - Future proofing
- Training (PC/ new media) - Pride in
environment
- Shared experiences - Community spirit

Key delivery to TV (Nevis) as PC household
penetration extremely low. Working within BT and
other partnerships vital for delivery.
33. Funding available …
… through various governmental sources:
- Wired up communities
- Local council
- Regeneration programmes
Wider BT opportunities outside “estates” and
in to the remainder of the conurbations
34. Our platform creates new opportunities to
unite communities …
Support creative development and technical
training:
- Shared experiences

Enable engagement of the community in:
- Policing (web cam security offering)
- Facilitating control and involvement for consumers in
all aspects of their environment (social, health,
sports etc.)

activities, making new media learning fun
- Enabling policing from the community
centres, home, and on the move, giving
ownership of environment, and pride in
appearance
