Digital Media - Impact on the Media Industry

Synopsis

In 2010 the new digital media continues to undermine the traditional media’s privileges and their grip on their monopolies. For the past few years they have all been jockeying for a position in this new Internet economy. Major competing sectors include TV and radio broadcasting, newspaper publishers, film and video industries.

The digital media companies are the clear leaders however, including Google, Facebook, YouTube, MySpace, eBay, Skype, Amazon, Apple, Yahoo, Microsoft and others. To a certain extent there will be parallel developments: one driven by Digital TV, using the traditional broadcasting networks and one driven by broadband using new fixed and mobile telco infrastructure. This report broadly describes and analyses the effect that digital media and convergence is having on the media industry.

"Paul, May I congratulate you on a very successful and enjoyable afternoon with the Minister. In providing the roundtable discussions between government and industry, it highlighted the strong interest by stakeholders in Broadband and its implementation but it also presented us with other issues and opportunities that we need to address."
