*Description: *

/The development of the audio/visual media sector from technology, 
market and policy perspectives/

Media landscapes have gone through fundamental changes and will continue 
to do so in the coming years. 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 distribution. 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, and 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:

·ICT 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
