The document advocates communicating radio's continued progress and variety to ensure its future prosperity.
The document discusses the history and evolution of the music industry from the launch of MTV in 1981 to recent developments in digital music and streaming. It notes that five major record labels previously dominated but that technology companies and consumers now have more power. The record industry has seen a 25% decline in album sales since 2000 due to piracy and digital shifts. New models are emerging like music streaming, but royalty rates remain an issue.
Omnifone Presentation,4th Athens Music Forum 2008Theo Potouroglou
- Omnifone is a music streaming company that provides its MusicStation and MusicStation Max services, which allow unlimited music downloads on mobile phones for a weekly or monthly subscription fee without incurring data charges.
- Analysts predict that subscription-based music streaming services like MusicStation will see significant revenue growth and be more appealing to operators and the music industry than per-track downloads.
- MusicStation has seen strong adoption rates, with one new subscriber per minute and over 75% of free trial users becoming paying subscribers. It exceeded the revenues of one operator's per-track service in just 9 weeks.
Buni.tv is a multimedia production company established in 2009 with offices in Nairobi and Los Angeles that produces content viewed by over 10 million people in Africa. However, Africa faces challenges with content distribution and monetization due to having far fewer movie screens than other regions, issues with revenue sharing between broadcasters and producers, and reliance on corporate sponsorship for reality TV shows. Buni.tv is addressing these problems by making their TV and film content available through mobile phones, which have high adoption rates in Africa, in order to increase access to local content and change media consumption patterns away from piracy.

This presentation eas given at Digital Africa 2016 in a session on Smart Cities. Its underlying argument is that you have to know how to create a livable city and the infrastructure to make it work. It concludes by offering some Smart City ideas that may work in Africa.
This document summarizes key factors in the African media landscape. It notes that the market is split between MENA and sub-Saharan Africa, with a smaller number of key markets like South Africa, Nigeria, and Ghana driving opportunities. It also discusses the vast diversity of languages spoken across Africa. The number of terrestrial TV channels has grown significantly between 2011 and 2014. A number of factors are affecting further growth, including liberalization policies, advertising spending, market fragmentation, the rise of digital terrestrial television and video on demand platforms, and infrastructure limitations outside urban areas.
Media, Internet and Social Media Landscape in Sub-Saharan AfricaRussell Southwood
A presentation based on a large market research study on media, Internet and social media in Sub-Saharan Africa. The four reports from this study can be downloaded for free by going to www.balancingact-africa.com Look in the right hand column and click on the cover of the report/s you want to download.
1) Over 100 million African households have televisions but only 2.5 million currently receive digital terrestrial television (DTT), with millions more soon in Tanzania and Kenya.
2) By 2020, almost 50 national DTT networks need to be set up across Africa and over 500 existing TV channels will need to convert to digital format.
3) Lessons from early African adopters like Mauritius, Kenya, Tanzania, Nigeria, and Uganda show that public awareness campaigns, realistic deadlines, timely policy approval, competitive markets, and reliable set-top box supply are critical for a successful DTT transition.
Social media, mobile platforms, and browser usage are evolving rapidly in Africa. Smartphone adoption is increasing while basic phones still dominate. Local social networks and browsers are emerging to serve African audiences. Critical mass is key to the success of these platforms, which often rely on advertising or freemium models. Mobile technology can deliver educational and agricultural services at scale by leveraging networks of local agents. The rollout of 4G networks will further accelerate data usage and unlock new applications.
Africa presents many production opportunities due to fragmentation in its media markets. Several African countries have over 100 radio stations and over 18 TV stations, with the top players having decreasing market share. The growth of vernacular language stations on radio and some TV (like Kass TV in Kenya) further fragments markets. Mobile media and the internet will increase in share as local African content grows. Digital migration is progressing in Africa, with over 40% of countries only having 1-2 analogue TV channels. While some countries have completed or are piloting digital migration, many are still in early planning phases. Mobile phone and internet usage is also growing rapidly across Africa, presenting new opportunities for digital advertising and online content.
African broadcast and film has evolved from businesses, hobbies, or political patronage to a growing multi-screen industry. While traditional TV remains important, online platforms like YouTube and video on demand services are increasingly popular among younger Africans. As internet bandwidth prices fall, online video usage is rising. To succeed, broadcasters must offer local content, differentiate their channels through specialized themes, and distribute content across all platforms as audiences fragment. The digital transition will see more TV channels launching and coverage expanding beyond major cities via technologies like satellite and fiber optic networks. Emerging technologies like smartphones, tablets and high-speed LTE networks will further drive the growth of online video consumption.
Operators in Africa will need to shift their business models as data revenues surpass voice revenues by 2018, driven by increasing demand for services like video and messaging apps. Traditional models relying on voice and SMS will not be sustainable long-term. Operators will need to focus on infrastructure and providing data delivery, while new services will be led by international and local companies. The deployment of LTE will accelerate this transition by enabling more data-intensive uses of mobile internet. Operators have a choice to resist these changes or to proactively develop new strategies for the future of their businesses in this shifting landscape.

High performance Serverless Java on AWS- GoTo Amsterdam 2024Vadym Kazulkin
Java is for many years one of the most popular programming languages, but it used to have hard times in the Serverless community. Java is known for its high cold start times and high memory footprint, comparing to other programming languages like Node.js and Python. In this talk I'll look at the general best practices and techniques we can use to decrease memory consumption, cold start times for Java Serverless development on AWS including GraalVM (Native Image) and AWS own offering SnapStart based on Firecracker microVM snapshot and restore and CRaC (Coordinated Restore at Checkpoint) runtime hooks. I'll also provide a lot of benchmarking on Lambda functions trying out various deployment package sizes, Lambda memory settings, Java compilation options and HTTP (a)synchronous clients and measure their impact on cold and warm start times.
Conversational agents, or chatbots, are increasingly used to access all sorts of services using natural language. While open-domain chatbots - like ChatGPT - can converse on any topic, task-oriented chatbots - the focus of this paper - are designed for specific tasks, like booking a flight, obtaining customer support, or setting an appointment. Like any other software, task-oriented chatbots need to be properly tested, usually by defining and executing test scenarios (i.e., sequences of user-chatbot interactions). However, there is currently a lack of methods to quantify the completeness and strength of such test scenarios, which can lead to low-quality tests, and hence to buggy chatbots.
To fill this gap, we propose adapting mutation testing (MuT) for task-oriented chatbots. To this end, we introduce a set of mutation operators that emulate faults in chatbot designs, an architecture that enables MuT on chatbots built using heterogeneous technologies, and a practical realisation as an Eclipse plugin. Moreover, we evaluate the applicability, effectiveness and efficiency of our approach on open-source chatbots, with promising results.

3. The Challenges
Yoel Kenan, Africori, B2B music aggregator and record label
“The operators are good at selling telco products but not good
at selling music and entertainment…They’ve gone from a high
level of confidence to it’s all very difficult. Ring tones remain
the largest part of music revenues, something which you would
imagine changing right about now.”
“The mobile players come Ring Tones where everybody in the
food chain has created an unhealthy ecosystem. They have
made the content developer (the artist who generates the
revenues) the smallest part of the revenues.”
Changing but…….
