Description: *The course is concerned with the development of the 
audio/visual media sector from technology, market and policy 
perspectives. Media landscapes have gone through major changes 
throughout the history and have been undergoing fundamental changes in 
recent years and will continue to do so in the near future. The changes 
have intensified in the last two decades starting with the 
digitalization of broadcast infrastructures and presently with the 
development of streaming platforms and the development of broadband 
infrastructures and cloud platforms that most likely will result in the 
end of dedicated infrastructures for media distributions. Time shifting, 
place shifting, video and audio on demand, and global networks for 
distribution of audio visual content are just a few examples of these 
changes. The implications are, e.g., the disruption of the traditional 
media distribution and delivery forms, distribution of content markets, 
disruption of home video markets, disruption of the record and music 
industry. Furthermore, there are major changes in the usage and 
consumption behavior connected with terminal devices and the combination 
of audio visual applications and services with social networking 
applications.

These changes are driven by the interplay between technological 
developments, market developments and new business models and the policy 
and regulatory environment. The aim of this course is to discuss the 
driving forces for such changes and to examine the implications for the 
market, industry, users and the technological development.

The course will address the following topics:

-Convergence

-New business models

-Standardization processes

-Dedicated TV and radio infrastructures – the current status and future 
perspectives

-Linear and nonlinear audio-visual services

-Over the Top (OTT) and hybrid platforms

-Development of fixed and mobile broadband infrastructures, including 
LTE and 5G as platform for audio visual services

-Market developments and usage
