- 4. Predication of thefuture state of media • “Anyone who tells you they can predict the future state of media and its consumption patterns or business models isn’t being honest. No one knows where things are going and how they’ll play out. To succeed, we must accept this state of confusion and embrace the chaos. When there’s no obvious right answer, we’re forced to experiment, and examine new, sometimes uncomfortable, ideas. In media in 2013, invention, creativity and ingenuity are the currencies of success.” Justin Smith, the new CEO of Bloomberg Media Group • NYTimes: Bloomberg Media Recruits a New Chief From The Atlantic 28.7.2013

Megatrends Media business willchange in combination of automation, digitalization, ubiquitous society and internationality Ubiquitous society Internationality Digitalization: Digitalization has already changed a lot of media business production, delivery and receiving. It creates a foundation of interconnected society, when any processes can be linked. We are moving from isolated systems to world where information is moving through standardized or mutually agreed interfaces from system to system. Ubiquitous society: Interconnected information technology is everywhere. Fingerprints of individuals or organizations acts, like buying, moving, using media and telecommunication are saved to service providers databases. Information analytics can help provides to create efficient and better services. Wearable technology enhance trend of creating and using media everywhere. Automation Digitalization Automation: Automation has expanded from industrial processes to every business, this will also revolutionize information and media business. Software will replace human work faster and faster. Internationality: Humans social, political, economical and cultural acts are exceeding borders of countries. Domestic media faces international competition in commercial and pay-TV business. Their personnel have Finnish language skills and on the other hand automation in translation is developing fast.

Multicasting in networks might enable delivery of linear AV programs, but they will not offer same QoS as cable connection. In VOD they will offer enough quality to most of the consumers. Network development will make possible of delivery of audio to moving consumers, but coverage of the networks will not be same as traditional FM-networks. Picture quality is developing • • • • Internet- and IP-services - linear and on-demand video services are developing and are challenging traditional cable and over the air delivery Cable to home – fast internet connections will become common, especially in crowded areas Area of availability of fixed cables to home will shrink from current 92% to 80% by year 2020, when teleoperators will not renew their copper cables. Current SD picture quality is enough for most of the consumers. How ever forerunners require better quality, specially in sports and in IP-delivery. Adaptive bit rate streaming will offer better viewing experience UltraHD TV - 4K/8K and better coding (HEVC) will pushed from technology vendors Mobility • Receiving of Television and other visual content will become available in every device and regardless of location (TV Everywhere)
