Posted on by Russell Trafford-Jones

We didn’t all have the opportunity to go to Mobile World Congress and with BVE on at the same time, few can go to both and get the full picture.

Fortunately, the IBC365 editorial team will pick through the product launches, announcements and themes of Mobile World Congress to make sense of the show for us.

IBC365 Editor George Bevir will be joined by journalists and analysts from across the broadcast and telco markets who will dissect the main talking points of the exhibition and conference.

Among the topics for discussion are:

  • The role of content in telco operators’ strategies: Acquiring, packaging and distributing content
  • Competing with tech giants and SVOD players
  • Broadcasters’ increasing need for greater network access
  • 5G: Roll out, lessons from PyeongChang and the implications for broadcasters and content owners
  • Delivering content to mobile devices
  • UHD, HDR and HFR content
  • Immersive content: 360-video, VR, AR and MR
  • E-sports: the opportunity to connect with fans

On Tuesday, March 6, 2018 at 16:00 GMT Phil Eade and Chris Duke from Ooyala explain how building your own media production solution can be slow, labor-intensive and hard to keep up-to-date.
