MUMBAI:
The Cable and Satellite Broadcasting Association of Asia (Casbaa)
has announced that the roll-call for its convention in Hong
Kong from 28-30 October has received a boost.
It
has announced several additional speakers in its lineup. They
include Starhub CEO Terry Clontz, SPTI executive VP, MD Todd
Miller, HBO Asia CEO Jonathan Spink, NDS chairman Abe Peled,
Pemra chairman Mushtaq Malik, Discovery Asia Pacific executive
VP, MD Tom Keaveny and Disney-ABC International Television
(Asia Pacific) senior VP, MD Rob Gilby.
Casbaa
notes that Asia’s 280 million subscription television
subscribers are served by more than 500 pay-TV networks scrambling
to serve almost 100 pay-TV platforms and 3 billion consumers.
The speakers will deconstruct the building blocks for revenue
generating linear pay-TV services, including subscription
and advertising.
The
convention panelists will also examine the new generation
of Asian pay-TV platforms such as IPTV in terms of costing,
pricing models and government regulation.
Casbaa
chairman Marcel Fenez says, "The Casbaa convention 2008
programme couldn't be stronger. Our industry's Annual Meeting
is leveraging Asia's central role as the global growth powerhouse
for the worldwide media and telecoms industry. Casbaa 2008
has already broken all its previous records for speakers,
sponsors and delegate registration set over a 15 year period.
This year's show will blow you away."
CNBC
is the sponsor of Casbaa Golf Masters at Discovery Bay's Golf
Course on 27 October, the day prior to the Convention.
