This document discusses issues around internet corporate responsibility in Hong Kong, including users' rights, content censorship, and cases involving illegal file sharing. It raises concerns that internet service providers are not adequately protecting user privacy and defending customers when copyright owners like IFPI demand personal user information. There is also a lack of advocacy groups in Hong Kong focused on cyber rights issues to hold ISPs and the government accountable for potential privacy infringements. More transparency is needed from copyright owners and a balanced approach is important from the government and community on these digital copyright matters.

Computer Misuse Act
The Computer Misuse Act of 1990 was introduced in the UK in response to increasing computer hacking incidents. The Act specifies three main computer-related offenses: unauthorized access to computer material; unauthorized access with intent to commit or facilitate further offenses; and unauthorized modification of computer material. These offenses carry penalties of up to 6 months in prison and unlimited fines depending on the severity of the offense. Prosecution under the Act can be difficult, as it is challenging to prove offenses and obtain evidence from companies, who may be embarrassed by hacking incidents. While hacking has increased in both hobby and criminal contexts, prosecution and punishment for Computer Misuse Act offenses often remain relatively small.

Internet decency legislation
The Telecommunications Act of 1996 aimed to reduce regulation and encourage new technologies like the internet. However, Congress was concerned about easy access to sexually explicit content online. This led to the Communications Decency Act of 1996, which attempted to regulate indecent and obscene material online but was struck down by the Supreme Court in Reno v. ACLU for being too vague. In response, Congress passed the Child Online Protection Act of 1998, which was also struck down for restricting protected speech. Finally, the Children's Internet Protection Act of 2000 was upheld and requires schools and libraries receiving federal funds to filter obscene content for minors.

E-Discovery: How do Litigation Hold, BYOD, and Privacy Affect You? - Course Technology Computing Conference
Presenter: Amelia Phillips, Highline Community College
E-discovery is defined as “gathering electronically stored information (ESI) for use in litigation”. At first glance, this appears to be a straightforward statement, but upon further examination one finds that it encompasses a broad range of items. Over 90% of documents produced by companies now are electronic. Older paper files have been converted to microfiche or PDF files. Add to this email, text messages, social media (yes, even the IRS has a Facebook page) and you have an idea of the amount of information that becomes this new term called “Big Data”. Terabytes of data will soon become petabytes of data. Are we ready? Are our students prepared for this new era? E-Discovery is a field that affects not only the lawyers, but the IT support staff, and how companies do business. In this talk you will be introduced to some of the new technology in the field such as predictive coding, forensic linguistics, and social media archiving. You will also be shown some of the new tools on the market that you can use in your classrooms to prepare your students and yourself for this fast evolving arena. What does a company need to do when a litigation hold is in place? What response needs to come from the legal staff, the IT support staff, the managers, and the average employee? How does this affect the BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) policies? Which comes first - employee privacy, freedom of information or corporate security? You will walk away from this talk with a methodology to incorporate this new topic into your curriculum. You will also be given ideas of how to make this affordable for your labs, what foundations your students need, and how to deliver this in a way that appeals to the business, IT or legal oriented student. This topic affects them all. Come and find out why this is something they need to be successful in tomorrow's market.

This document discusses regulating social media platforms and algorithms through interoperability requirements. It argues that self-regulation by technology companies is not sufficient and can permit issues like algorithmic discrimination. The document examines options for regulation, including:
1. Requiring dominant platforms to provide interoperability through open APIs to allow competitors access to user data and functionality.
2. Learning from regulations of other industries like telecoms that mandate interconnection.
3. Developing ethical standards and impact assessments for algorithms to address issues like bias, but notes these may not be suitable for all cases. Overall it argues a systematic approach is needed to ensure proper oversight and redress for users affected by automated systems.

5) Potential negative social impacts on work-life balance, dependence on systems, rapid job changes, and new forms of computer crime and health issues.Ethical And Social Issues in MIS - Management Information System
Information ethics has been defined as "the branch of ethics that focuses on the relationship between the creation, organization, dissemination, and use of information, and the ethical standards and moral codes governing human conduct in society".[1] The term information ethics was first coined by Robert Hauptman and used in the book Ethical challenges in librarianship. It examines the morality that comes from information as a resource, a product, or as a target.[2] It provides a critical framework for considering moral issues concerning informational privacy, moral agency (e.g. whether artificial agents may be moral), new environmental issues (especially how agents should behave in the infosphere), problems arising from the life-cycle (creation, collection, recording, distribution, processing, etc.) of information (especially ownership and copyright, digital divide, and digital rights). It is very vital to understand that librarians, archivists, information professionals among others, really understand the importance of knowing how to disseminate proper information as well as being responsible with their actions when addressing information.[3]
Information ethics has evolved to relate to a range of fields such as computer ethics,[4] medical ethics, journalism[5] and the philosophy of information.
Dilemmas regarding the life of information are becoming increasingly important in a society that is defined as "the information society". The explosion of so much technology has brought information ethics to a forefront in ethical considerations. Information transmission and literacy are essential concerns in establishing an ethical foundation that promotes fair, equitable, and responsible practices. Information ethics broadly examines issues related to ownership, access, privacy, security, and community. It is also concerned with relational issues such as "the relationship between information and the good of society, the relationship between information providers and the consumers of information".[6]
Information technology affects common issues such as copyright protection, intellectual freedom, accountability, privacy, and security. Many of these issues are difficult or impossible to resolve due to fundamental tensions between Western moral philosophies (based on rules, democracy, individual rights, and personal freedoms) and the traditional Eastern cultures (based on relationships, hierarchy, collective responsibilities, and social harmony).[7] The multi-faceted dispute between Google and the government of the People's Republic of China reflects some of these fundamental tensions.

This document summarizes a study conducted in Hong Kong that requested telecommunication companies and internet service providers to provide individuals access to their personal data as required by Hong Kong's Personal Data Protection Ordinance. The study found that while basic subscriber information and call logs were provided, other potentially personal data like information shared with third parties, retention periods, geolocation and IP addresses were not provided. This raises questions around what is considered personal data and who has the power to make that determination.

Freedom of expression on the internet
This document discusses Council of Europe standards regarding freedom of expression on the Internet. It outlines that freedom of expression is a fundamental human right, especially in democratic societies, and this right applies to online communications through the Internet. Any restrictions on Internet access or online content must be prescribed by law, pursue a legitimate aim, and be proportionate. Blocking, filtering, and disconnection of individuals can restrict this right. States should guarantee editorial independence and protect journalists' sources online. Two key questions around new technologies are whether they are necessary and proportionate interferences with freedom of expression or could be applied in a disproportionate manner breaching users' rights.
Wikileaks freedom of speech on the internet
The document discusses the ongoing debate around regulation and censorship of the internet. It explores both the cyberlibertarian perspective that favors minimal regulation and individual freedom online, as well as the cyberpaternalist view that some level of control is needed to establish order. While early thinkers believed the internet existed beyond government oversight, it is now recognized that control can be exerted through other means like laws and technology. The document outlines different approaches countries take toward censorship and how users resist and circumvent restrictions in the ongoing struggle to define free speech online.

The document defines key terms like computer ethics, codes of ethics, intellectual property, privacy, and computer crimes. It also differentiates between ethics and laws. Intellectual property includes patents, trademarks, designs, and copyright. Privacy can be increased by using firewalls and clearing browser histories. Authentication verifies a user's identity through methods like user IDs, passwords, smart cards, and biometrics. The document discusses controversial online content like pornography and slander, as well as types of internet filtering and computer crimes
Freedom of expression on the internet
This document discusses Council of Europe standards regarding freedom of expression on the Internet. It outlines that freedom of expression is a fundamental human right, especially in democratic societies, and this right applies to online communications through the Internet. Any restrictions on Internet access or online content must be prescribed by law, pursue a legitimate aim, and be proportionate. Blocking, filtering, and disconnection of individuals can restrict this right. States should guarantee editorial independence and protect journalists' sources online. Two key questions around new technologies are whether they are necessary and proportionate interferences with freedom of expression or could be applied in a disproportionate manner breaching users' rights.
Wikileaks freedom of speech on the internet
The document discusses the ongoing debate around regulation and censorship of the internet. It explores both the cyberlibertarian perspective that favors minimal regulation and individual freedom online, as well as the cyberpaternalist view that some level of control is needed to establish order. While early thinkers believed the internet existed beyond government oversight, it is now recognized that control can be exerted through other means like laws and technology. The document outlines different approaches countries take toward censorship and how users resist and circumvent restrictions in the ongoing struggle to define free speech online.

in the textbook)
A. Strategies for Selected Discussion Questions in Chapter 1
4. Gotterbarn’s arguments are well constructed, and Gotterbarn makes a plausible case for
why computer ethics should be conceived of as field of professional ethics. In defense of
Gotterbarn’s position, we must concede that an understanding of professional-responsibility
issues is critical to an adequate understanding and analysis of computer ethics issues. In the
period of computing preceding the World Wide Web, Gotterbarn’s argument for why the field
of computer ethics should be conceived of as an area of professional ethics (whose primary
concern was for computer professionals) was plausible. At that time, many (if not most) of the
ethical issues involving computers directly affected the computing profession. Since then,
however, two important factors have influenced the field. First, a new (and broader) wave of
computer-related ethical issues emerged when the Internet became accessible to ordinary
people. Second, most people who currently use computers, either for work or for recreational
purposes, are not computer professionals. So, it would seem that we need a much broader
conception of the field than the one proposed by Gotterbarn. However, we also saw that
Gotterbarn’s view may ultimately turn out to be correct as more and more traditional
computer-ethics issues, such as those involving privacy, property, speech, and so forth,
become folded into “ordinary ethics.”
6. If we apply the first two-steps of the methodology described in Sec. 1.6 (entitled “A
Comprehensive Strategy for Approaching Cyberethics Issues”), we must first identify what
the ethical issues are in this case. Here, issues involving the personal privacy of Internet users
would seem to be apparent; so we have identified at least one ethical issue. Next, we need to
see whether there are any “policy vacuums” associated with this particular issue. There would
indeed seem to be a policy vacuum in the sense that neither ISPs nor ordinary users have a
clear understanding of a law or a policy for determining whether personal information about a
user’s online activities can be given to a non-law-enforcement organization merely because
some organization suspects one or more subscribers to an ISP of having violated copyright
laws. Consider that the RIAA is not a law enforcement agency. So, a policy vacuum
regarding cybertechnology once again emerges, and this vacuum or void needs to be filled
with a clear and explicit policy.

E Commerce Platform Data Ownership and Legal Protection
This document discusses issues around data ownership on e-commerce platforms in China. It begins by providing background on data rights regulations in China and how they are addressed across various laws. It then analyzes the current status of legislation, law enforcement, and judicial practices regarding data rights protection on e-commerce platforms. Several issues are identified in China's legal protection of data ownership, including a lack of clear entitlement norms, potential for data leakage, and unclear legal use of data rights. The document argues that China's legal system for data rights protection needs improvement and proposes developing comprehensive regulations tailored for China's e-commerce context.
Social Media and Legal Ethics
The document summarizes issues around intellectual property, privacy and social media based on a presentation given to the Sydney University Ethics Committee. It discusses how social media like Facebook are now a major forum for online conversations but content is published more permanently without security. Key issues covered include which laws govern new media, risks of evidence recovery from social media data, legal standards for electronic documents, and jurisdictional challenges for social media cases. It also outlines relevant Australian privacy and copyright legislation as well as recent social media controversies around data collection and privacy settings.
Business And The Law
The document summarizes key UK legislation related to business and technology, including the Data Protection Act of 1998, the Computer Misuse Act of 1990, and the Copyright, Designs and Patents Act of 1988. The Data Protection Act established rights for individuals over their personal data and requires data users to obtain and manage personal data responsibly. The Computer Misuse Act made hacking and spreading viruses illegal. The Copyright Act extended copyright protections to software and made illegal copying of software a criminal offense.

Brief history of how consensus on limited liabiliaty for online intermediaries was reached c 2000; and political and economic forces now dismantling it, leading to a need for new globalised guidelines to safeguard humn rights and ensure cross border consistency in this area..
Igf oecd
The document discusses the policy issues around holding internet service providers (ISPs) liable for content on the internet before 2000. Two models emerged - the EC Directive on Electronic Commerce 2002 which exempted ISPs from liability, and the US Digital Millennium Copyright Act which gave immunity for copyright issues. Both divided liability based on the function of mere conduit, caching, and hosting, with limited liability and a "notice and take down" system for hosted content. Now states want ISPs to play a more active role through filtering and monitoring for issues like copyright, child pornography, and malware, which raises human rights concerns around censorship, privacy, and scope creep.
Internet Law Primer
The document discusses several key issues regarding internet law and regulation. It notes that while the internet may seem unregulated, there are some existing laws. However, regulating the internet is difficult due to its worldwide nature and anonymity. Several areas of internet law remain unclear, such as online defamation, the liability of internet service providers, and how to address cyberbullying while protecting free speech rights. Overall the passage examines both existing internet laws and legal issues that courts continue to evaluate.

This document provides an overview and analysis of ethical issues related to Canada's Copyright Modernization Act. The summary discusses:
1) The Act aims to balance copyright holders' rights with public access to information but its provisions around digital locks and the public domain threaten this balance.
2) Digital locks could undermine fair use provisions and limit access to information, even for legal uses. They also do not prevent infringement.
3) The Act fails to adequately address works in the public domain and crown copyright, limiting access to important public information.
4) Restricting access to information through an overbroad use of digital locks and an unclear treatment of the public domain could negatively impact culture by limiting the creative works individuals can

COMPUTER LAW, INVESTIGATION AND ETHICS DOMAIN
The document discusses computer law, investigations, and ethics. It covers reviewing computer crime laws and regulations, investigative techniques for determining if a crime was committed and gathering evidence, and ethical constraints. Specific topics covered include computer laws, computer crime, computer crime investigations, and computer ethics. Computer crime laws at both the federal and state levels are discussed.
Computer Ethics
This document provides an overview of computer ethics by examining three key areas: copyright and licensing issues, censorship on the internet, and information privacy issues. It traces the history of the field back to Norbert Wiener in the 1940s and discusses how computer technology has evolved rapidly, requiring re-examination of ethics. Ensuring privacy and developing policies to guide ethical computer use are important aspects of the emerging field of computer ethics.
Ipr and enforcement mechanism
This document discusses intellectual property rights (IPR) enforcement and digital rights management (DRM) in the context of copyright protection online. It notes the challenges of regulating copyright in the digital environment due to attributes like plasticity, transmissibility and processibility of digital content. While DRM aims to curb piracy by embedding ownership data, mere prevention is not enough - enforcement is also needed. The document analyzes issues around jurisdiction, liability and balancing author/user interests regarding fair use. It recommends a cautious approach for India that considers economic circumstances and affordable access to knowledge, rather than strict DRM adherence seen in developed countries.
Yahoo!, the Shi Tao Case, and lessons for corporate social responsibility
Slides from an academic paper presentation. Paper at: http://rconversation.blogs.com/YahooShiTaoLessons.pdf">Download YahooShiTaoLessons.pdf
ABSTRACT: In 2005, Chinese journalist Shi Tao was convicted and sentenced to ten years in prison for leaking state secrets abroad. Key evidence cited in Chinese court documents included information about Shi’s account supplied by Yahoo! to the Chinese State Security Bureau. Condemnation by human rights groups and investors, U.S. congressional hearings, a Hong Kong government investigation, and a U.S. lawsuit followed. This paper documents the core facts, events, issues and debates involved. The Shi Tao case highlights the complex challenges of corporate social responsibility for Internet and telecommunications companies: They are caught between demands of governments on one hand and rights of users on the other – not only in authoritarian countries such as China but in virtually all countries around the world. While there are no simple or quick solutions, Internet and telecoms companies seeking to establish trustworthy reputations across a global customer base cannot afford to ignore the human rights implications of their business practices. Users and investors have a right to demand that user rights be respected. If companies fail to respect user rights, the need to develop non-commercial, grassroots alternatives will become increasingly important if privacy and free expression are to be possible anywhere.
Computer misuse and criminal law
This document summarizes computer misuse and criminal law relating to unauthorized computer access and hacking. It discusses three categories of computer misuse under the UK Computer Misuse Act of 1990 - accessing computer material without permission, accessing with intent to commit crimes, and altering computer data without permission. Punishments for these offenses include fines and prison time. The document also outlines various types of computer crimes like fraud, eavesdropping, hacking, copyright infringement, and viruses. It discusses laws governing computer-enabled crimes and measures for preventing misuse like the Data Protection Act, copyright law, closing abusive chat rooms, reducing email spam, and maintaining security.

Threats to the Internet
Charles Mok discusses various threats facing the internet, including digital repression, surveillance, misinformation, internet shutdowns, and data/cyber sovereignty. He notes that data, standards, infrastructure, and values are fragmenting. Regulatory fragmentation is also occurring as democracies seek backdoors, while authoritarians view cybersecurity as a means of regime security and push for more government control over internet governance through conferences like the World Internet Conference. Overall, Mok argues the vision of "One World, One Internet" is under threat from increasing fragmentation across many areas.
Cyber Risks in Hong Kong
This document summarizes cyber risks in Hong Kong following the implementation of the National Security Law in 2020. It discusses how internet freedom has declined, with increased censorship and surveillance powers. New laws and proposals aim to further control the internet, such as requiring SIM card registration, strengthening anti-doxxing laws, and proposals to regulate crowdfunding and criminalize broad cybercrimes. Civil society has retreated amid arrests for online posts, media closures, and website blocking. Overall internet freedom has sharply declined and more restrictions are planned.
ICANN TWNIC TWIGF 2023: Compliance through Compulsion
This document discusses the trend of governments using access restrictions as a policy tool for compliance. It notes that censorship has existed as long as the internet, through methods like the Great Firewall of China. The document examines perspectives from 2011 that viewed access restrictions as minor inconveniences rather than censorship. It analyzes how the UK uses a protective DNS service to block malware while maintaining it is not censorship. Examples from Hong Kong and predictions for other Asian countries show how access restrictions have become mandated under national security laws. The document raises the question of whether similar trends could occur in other countries like the US and Taiwan.

This document summarizes Charles Mok's discussion from a 2023 technology conference on issues related to AI, blockchain, cybersecurity, data governance, and internet fragmentation. Key topics included the rapid advancement of AI models from ChatGPT to GPT-4, the collapse of FTX shaking confidence in cryptocurrency and blockchain applications, ongoing debates around internet standards-setting and regulatory approaches, and increasing geopolitical tensions contributing to fragmentation across digital technologies, infrastructure, and values. Mok concluded by questioning if collaboration on these issues can overcome growing divisions.
Technology4democracy: The Potential of Web3 and Blockchain for Democracy
- Web3 aims to decentralize the internet using blockchain technology, removing centralized intermediaries and allowing users to own their own data. This could enable new forms of direct participation like immutable voting. However, others are skeptical that people want to manage their own servers or infrastructure. There are also concerns that Web3 platforms could become controlled by venture capitalists like previous iterations. Some countries and organizations are experimenting with blockchain applications for areas like elections, funding, and transparency. Ensuring governance models are inclusive and address potential threats will be important as Web3 develops.
APAC Data Center Infrastructure Observations
Regulations in the APAC region are expected to favor edge data centers over solely cloud-based infrastructure due to data sovereignty requirements. Increased bandwidth availability in more APAC markets beyond major hubs could lead to greater data center distribution. While green data centers are important, regulations promoting them may not be top national priorities in all APAC countries at this time.
Chinese Digital Repression
Charles Mok discusses China's repressive digital practices, including the Great Firewall that censors the internet, massive government surveillance through tools like facial recognition, and the social credit system. He notes that China is exporting this model of digital control through projects like the Digital Silk Road and by providing technologies to other countries. However, China faces pushback in some Western nations and its efforts to influence global technology standards have met resistance from organizations like IETF and IEEE. Overall, China is actively working to spread its model of internet governance and fragment the global internet while facing challenges to its vision from advocates of multistakeholder governance.
Technology, Data and Ethics
The document discusses issues around technology, data, and ethics for both the public and private sectors. It notes fragmentation of trust, truth, the internet, and data issues that regulators face. It argues regulations alone cannot solve most problems and that putting the pieces together requires data literacy for all stakeholders and joint data governance that empowers users, is consent-based, transparent, and holds organizations accountable. The document was presented by Charles Mok at an ISKO conference on data governance designed with user empowerment, consent, transparency, and accountability at its core.
Censorship, Surveillance and Cyber Threats in Hong Kong.pdf
This document summarizes the decline of internet freedom in Hong Kong over recent years. It describes how censorship was previously non-existent but increased after the national security law was passed in 2020. This allowed authorities to order taking down of online content and surveillance. Many websites and apps were blocked or self-censored in response. Real name registration for SIM cards was also introduced, tightening government control over online activities. The future may include further pressure on global internet platforms to censor in Hong Kong as well as local legislation increasing government powers over online speech.
HKU Tech for Good.pdf
Charles Mok looks at the impacts of emerging technologies like artificial intelligence, blockchain, and the metaverse. He discusses both benefits and concerns, such as privacy issues with facial recognition, mounting ethical concerns with the industrialization of AI, and debates around decentralization. He also examines implications of the Ukraine conflict, including hacker activity and big tech's response, as well as what the future internet may look like in regards to issues like social credit, censorship, and online freedom.

The document discusses why an open and interoperable Internet infrastructure is key to the continued success of the Internet. It notes issues like fragmentation, misinformation, censorship and surveillance that have arisen and questions how to re-empower users through technology and multistakeholderism while ensuring regulations lead to an improved Internet.
Misinformation, Fake News and Harmful Content Laws in the World
Charles Mok discusses the challenges with laws around misinformation, fake news, and harmful content globally. He notes that determining what is fake news or misinformation is difficult, as is deciding who should make that judgment. Laws introduced in Germany to stop hate speech have been copied by authoritarian regimes to censor dissent. Similarly, India's new IT rules give the government broad powers to censor content deemed unlawful on social media. Attempts to regulate disinformation raise issues around freedom of expression and the risk of increased censorship. Overall, the presentation cautions that establishing authorities to determine disinformation is problematic and enforcing such rules is not straightforward.
From Re-Opening to Recovery: Post-COVID Security and Privacy Issues and Trends
The document discusses post-COVID security and privacy issues and trends as countries move from pandemic response to recovery. It summarizes contact tracing and exposure notification apps used in various countries and debates around balancing privacy and public health. Issues around vaccine passports and digital identity are also examined, including standards, privacy, inequality and implications. Emerging technologies could advance vaccine tracing but also enable health surveillance. Overall balances in these issues will be important for societies post-pandemic.

Have you AI'ed today? A Reality Check
Charles Mok discusses the potentials and limitations of artificial intelligence (AI). While AI shows promise in areas like diagnosing diseases, fighting climate change, and translating languages, it also faces limitations. AI may struggle with tasks requiring "System 2" thinking like abstract reasoning, planning, and understanding cause and effect. It can also replicate and even amplify the biases of its human creators. To realize AI's full potentials, Mok argues we must know its limitations, impose proper oversight and controls, ensure ethics and equality are incorporated, and take a realistic approach focused on specific tasks rather than assuming it can solve all problems.

The Evolution and Impact of OTT Platforms: A Deep Dive into the Future of Ent...
This presentation provides a thorough examination of Over-the-Top (OTT) platforms, focusing on their development and substantial influence on the entertainment industry, with a particular emphasis on the Indian market.We begin with an introduction to OTT platforms, defining them as streaming services that deliver content directly over the internet, bypassing traditional broadcast channels. These platforms offer a variety of content, including movies, TV shows, and original productions, allowing users to access content on-demand across multiple devices.The historical context covers the early days of streaming, starting with Netflix's inception in 1997 as a DVD rental service and its transition to streaming in 2007. The presentation also highlights India's television journey, from the launch of Doordarshan in 1959 to the introduction of Direct-to-Home (DTH) satellite television in 2000, which expanded viewing choices and set the stage for the rise of OTT platforms like Big Flix, Ditto TV, Sony LIV, Hotstar, and Netflix. The business models of OTT platforms are explored in detail. Subscription Video on Demand (SVOD) models, exemplified by Netflix and Amazon Prime Video, offer unlimited content access for a monthly fee. Transactional Video on Demand (TVOD) models, like iTunes and Sky Box Office, allow users to pay for individual pieces of content. Advertising-Based Video on Demand (AVOD) models, such as YouTube and Facebook Watch, provide free content supported by advertisements. Hybrid models combine elements of SVOD and AVOD, offering flexibility to cater to diverse audience preferences.
Content acquisition strategies are also discussed, highlighting the dual approach of purchasing broadcasting rights for existing films and TV shows and investing in original content production. This section underscores the importance of a robust content library in attracting and retaining subscribers.The presentation addresses the challenges faced by OTT platforms, including the unpredictability of content acquisition and audience preferences. It emphasizes the difficulty of balancing content investment with returns in a competitive market, the high costs associated with marketing, and the need for continuous innovation and adaptation to stay relevant.
The impact of OTT platforms on the Bollywood film industry is significant. The competition for viewers has led to a decrease in cinema ticket sales, affecting the revenue of Bollywood films that traditionally rely on theatrical releases. Additionally, OTT platforms now pay less for film rights due to the uncertain success of films in cinemas.
Looking ahead, the future of OTT in India appears promising. The market is expected to grow by 20% annually, reaching a value of ₹1200 billion by the end of the decade. The increasing availability of affordable smartphones and internet access will drive this growth, making OTT platforms a primary source of entertainment for many viewers.

The obvious challenge is figuring out what our users need; the non-obvious challenges are in creating a shared understanding of those needs and in sensing if what we're doing is meeting those needs.
In this webinar, we won't focus on the research methods for discovering user-needs. We will focus on synthesis of the needs we discover, communication and alignment tools, and how we operationalize addressing those needs.
Industry expert Scott Sehlhorst will:
• Introduce a taxonomy for user goals with real world examples
• Present the Onion Diagram, a tool for contextualizing task-level goals
• Illustrate how customer journey maps capture activity-level and task-level goals
• Demonstrate the best approach to selection and prioritization of user-goals to address
• Highlight the crucial benchmarks, observable changes, in ensuring fulfillment of customer needs

【业务选择办理准则】
一、工作未确定，回国需先给父母、亲戚朋友看下文凭的情况，办理一份就读学校的毕业证【微信：A575476】文凭即可
二、回国进私企、外企、自己做生意的情况，这些单位是不查询毕业证真伪的，而且国内没有渠道去查询国外文凭的真假，也不需要提供真实教育部认证。鉴于此，办理一份毕业证【微信：A575476】即可
三、进国企，银行，事业单位，考公务员等等，这些单位是必需要提供真实教育部认证的，办理教育部认证所需资料众多且烦琐，所有材料您都必须提供原件，我们凭借丰富的经验，快捷的绿色通道帮您快速整合材料，让您少走弯路。

→ 【关于价格问题（保证一手价格）
我们所定的价格是非常合理的，而且我们现在做得单子大多数都是代理和回头客户介绍的所以一般现在有新的单子 我给客户的都是第一手的代理价格，因为我想坦诚对待大家 不想跟大家在价格方面浪费时间
对于老客户或者被老客户介绍过来的朋友，我们都会适当给一些优惠。
选择实体注册公司办理，更放心，更安全！我们的承诺：可来公司面谈，可签订合同，会陪同客户一起到教育部认证窗口递交认证材料，客户在教育部官方认证查询网站查询到认证通过结果后付款，不成功不收费！
