THE BUSINESS OF NEXTGEN TV
ATSC 3.0 is the revolutionary next-generation terrestrial broadcast system designed to improve the television viewing experience (”better TV”) with enhanced audio & video quality, improved compression efficiency, broadened device reception, and Internet-like personalization & interactivity – as well as a robust conduit for a myriad of “beyond TV” data-centric applications and services.
With technical deployments of NextGen TV scaling rapidly across the country, the opportunity to define breakthrough products/services and prioritize viable go-to-market business models is now both timely and tangible; the ATSC 3.0 Productization & Monetization Summit will be the conversational center of it all.
