    VBS 2024: The FAST TV Phenomenon: The Next Growth Phase

    Mumbai: India is in the grips of seisnic changes regarding video and broadband consumption. Pay TV cord-cutting is rampant even as free TV subscriptions are on the rise and OTT buy-ins are churning with the signs up for certain platforms stagnating even as others are seeing rapid increases and some are seeing cataclysmic drops. Aggregators of OTTs are popping up on the horizon promising cheap bundles along with value-added services for cable TV and DTH. There’s a rush to set up free advertising-supported TV channels by TV set manufacturers and smart TV device makers. There’s the Jio factor where it seeks to convert most pay TV customers to free streaming of video content by offering free access to consumers at no cost. The consumer continues to demand bandwidth higher than ever imagined even as prices drop. Margins are under pressure as every player goes one-up on each other to acquire and retain customers.

    The video and broadband distribution landscape has not been as vibrant as it is now.. How long will this pot-boiling continue? What will the magic potion of video and broadband look and taste like? And what’s the end game? Indiantelevision.com has held the 20th edition of Video and Broadband Summit better known as VBS at Sahara Star Hotel, Mumbai.

    The session chair for this panel was The Linus Adventures founder & chief evangelist Sunil Lulla along with the panelists: Travelxp co-founder  & CEO Prashant Chothani, DistroScale APAC head Vikas Khanchandani, Jioads CEO Gulshan Verma, Samsung Plus TV head of partnerships Kunal Mehta, Planetcast digital COO Venugopal Iyengar, Amagi SVP (Sales) Jay Ganeson

    Lulla began the session by saying how the marketplace is being built, how highly competitive it has been over the years, and also the emergence of FAST TV.

    To which Iyengar replied, “ The distribution landscape has been changed which we talked about on the morning session options. For media owners, there are hundreds of options which is great news but there is a complexity of how to manage not only distributing your content without too much conflict of interest or conflict of revenue. Secondly, also, how do you create a differentiated proposition for the viewer there’s no point doing a live channel and then you know, which is paid. So those two challenges are, of course, being dealt with by the media owners and the distributors like I was talking about, is really about figuring out how to manage this experience for the user, personalizing it and making it important.”

    Verma said, “ So I think the short answer right now is people want to watch a lot of content, and they want the variety that and they are willing to watch as in exchange for a more variety. And this is not just an Indian phenomenon, because we’re in India, if you look at the US, for example, you take something like Hulu TV, you know, they have two plans.1299 a month with no ads and 799 a month with ads. 95% of users taking seminar time without space. So, they will always be interested in FAST.”

    Khanchandani replied, “A lot of genres are getting pushed out of traditional distribution. So if you look at categories like English movies, and English entertainment, many other categories are feeling the heat. These guys are getting pushed out of traditional distribution. FAST is becoming a great place for them to land. Just allowing them to reach the right audience and build viewership.”

    Chothani said, “Fast helped us to graduate people to go on to pay TV and then get into the spot. So fast is when you say what is fast? It’s DD Free Dish on steroids. Because you can monetize it better. And it’s not that the television advertising budget is going down, the growth has slowed down. So nobody’s going away, everything is going to be there, we need to be a leader. That the key takeaway we understood when in the West when they entered FAST and it’s not that it took away from our pay TV audience or into coming from our OTT offering. So consumer is also consuming as part of certain transitions that the consumer is watching everything everywhere. So it’s not this or that. It’s this and that, and that.”

    Mehta said, “There is a need for other genres also to start, you know, investing in the content investing in FAST. About 80% of my consumers today watch some ad-supported streaming content on our FAST TV. So that just shows you how powerful the medium is whether it be TV plus or YouTube or any other VR OTT application on the platform.”

    Ganesan at the end summed up the by saying, “There are going to be four key players in any strategy from the consumer who’s eventually watching, who’s ready to watch an ad for getting the free content, they see value in FAST because on AVOD there is so much content, you just end up when you have what I have a lean back experience, you just don’t know what to watch what you want to watch.”

    VBS 2024: The Churning Video Distribution Ecosystem – What’s next?

    Mumbai: India is in the grips of seisnic changes regarding video and broadband consumption. Pay TV cord-cutting is rampant even as free TV subscriptions are on the rise and OTT buy-ins are churning with the signs up for certain platforms stagnating even as others are seeing rapid increases and some are seeing cataclysmic drops. Aggregators of OTTs are popping up on the horizon promising cheap bundles along with value-added services for cable TV and DTH. There’s a rush to set up free advertising-supported TV channels by TV set manufacturers and smart TV device makers. There’s the Jio factor where it seeks to convert most pay TV customers to free streaming of video content by offering free access to consumers at no cost. The consumer continues to demand bandwidth higher than ever imagined even as prices drop. Margins are under pressure as every player goes one-up on each other acquire and retain customers.

    The video and broadband distribution landscape has not been as vibrant as it is now.. How long will this pot-boiling continue? What will the magic potion of video and broadband look and taste like? And what’s the end game? Indiantelevision.com has held the 20th edition of Video and Broadband Summit better known as VBS at Sahara Star Hotel, Mumbai.

    The session chair for this panel was Ernst and Young LLP partner, media & entertainment advisory services Ashish Pherwani along with panelists: Fastway group CEO Prem Ojha, IndiaCast president Amit Arora, Dish TV CEO Manoj Dobhal, Warner Bros. Discovery & Eurosport South Asia head of distribution Ruchir Jain, Shemaroo Entertainment COO-broadcasting business Sandeep Gupta and Harmonic EMEA-APAC streaming market development director Alexandre Paugam

    Pherwani started off by saying by 2028, the TV world be breaking up into three largely equal partners and will have about 70 to 80 million pay TV and 65 to 70 million free-to-air services.

    Jain said, “We are very hopeful about the future right now. If you look at this, what’s going to happen is one is that the entire set of consumers are increasing in number. So I’m talking about how pay TV is gonna grow, connected TVs, and also about the free-to-air services, etc, so it’s the number of people coming into the media, who is going to invest. So that’s one big factor, the second big factor is the time scale

    Ojha opined that, “Our job is to keep the ground ready so that all this beautiful content and all these absorbing content can reach out to consumers the way they want it today.”

    Arora said, “So it is select all 3 platforms to seem to be consuming a lot of common content assets and that is going to change in the future formats will change may be the price point. I agree with that.”

    Dobhai said, “ We are brands with long-run legacies. And new ones coming up. Fortunately, unfortunately, I’m on the receiving end of it because we are the ones who showed the word of it all the country that you know what experience it brings when you watch an immersive content technology, upgraded version of it, satellite, and all that.”

    Gupta added that for Shemaroo, Gujarati is like building our own Prime Video. Because we are devoted ourselves to Gujrati. We are trying to expand on more areas as well. Other than that Shemaroo and ShemarooMe are mostly devoted to Gujarati.

    Lastly, Paugam replied, “Coming from the technology, part of things, especially the broadcast infrastructure, I think we see a big trend, and DTH cable stays strong. And for us, it stays at a huge part of our business helping protesters and operators distribute their content through those networks and optimize it. But the big growth is in streaming. And we’ve seen a tipping point globally, the number of subscribers from pay TV subscribers, being outpaced by the number of streaming subscribers. We’re moving from sending a unified feed and broke it down to everyone to sending unique guests and a unique feed to the end user. That gives us the ability to customize this unique feed. I think a lot of innovation and new technology that are emerging are around how do we leverage that streaming vessel to have the experience as personalized as possible.”

  • IAB Tech Lab releases in-depth analysis of Google’s Privacy Sandbox

    IAB Tech Lab releases in-depth analysis of Google’s Privacy Sandbox

    Mumbai: IAB Tech Lab, the global digital advertising technical standards-setting body, has released a comprehensive analysis shedding light on the challenges associated with the industry’s adoption of Google’s Privacy Sandbox. The analysis, conducted by IAB Tech Lab’s Privacy Sandbox Taskforce, explores the implications of Google’s plan to eliminate third-party cookie-based tracking from its Chrome browser while replacing it with the Privacy Sandbox. IAB Tech Lab is inviting industry stakeholders to participate in a 45-day period for public comments, which will remain open until 22 March 2024.

    “Embracing Google’s Privacy Sandbox is a seismic shift in the advertising landscape, departing from the industry’s trajectory over the past 25 years,” said IAB Tech Lab CEO Anthony Katsur. “Our findings highlight that the industry isn’t ready yet and identify multiple challenges to implementation due to limitations in accomplishing key advertising objectives. Chrome is focused on providing discrete components that support aspects of use cases, but which ultimately cannot be assembled into a whole that provides a viable business foundation.”

    The analysis identified several key issues that underscore the challenges media companies, advertisers, and the broader industry face in adapting to the changes mandated by Privacy Sandbox. For instance:

    ●  Essential event-based metrics: Essential event-based impression and click counting are only temporarily supported, later moving to aggregated reporting. Bid loss analysis is impossible, making revenue reconciliation and troubleshooting extremely difficult.

    ●  Brand safety concerns: The landscape introduces brand safety concerns, prompting advertisers to navigate potential threats to the integrity of their advertisements and ensuring alignment with desired contexts and values.

    ●  On-browser computing implications: Google’s implementation of an ad exchange and ad server within the Chrome browser necessitates significant re-tooling of the programmatic advertising ecosystem. This affects addressability, reporting mechanisms, ad rendering processes, bidding decisioning capabilities, and concerns around scaling the Privacy Sandbox as it ramps, challenging publishers and advertisers to innovate within these limitations.

    ●  Lack of consideration for commercial requirements: With Chrome acting as an active participant in a financial transaction (the ad auction) and delivery of goods (serving the ad), it poses great concern if Privacy Sandbox neglects legal and business requirements. Failure to incorporate these considerations can result in legal penalties and loss of trust from customers and partners.

    Compiled by senior technical, operational, and data science leaders representing a diverse range of entities, including publishers, agencies, Supply-Side Platforms (SSPs), Demand-Side Platforms (DSPs), measurement companies, and other ad tech players across over 65 companies over 6 months, the analysis aims to foster a collective understanding within the industry, bringing together stakeholders to assess the functionality and implications of Google’s Privacy Sandbox.

    This evaluation focuses on the Chrome browser’s Protected Audience APIs (PAAPI) but also touches on topics, private state tokens, attribution reporting, and fenced frames to determine how they support foundational advertising use cases and provide guidance on their utilization for specific scenarios.

    “The Privacy Sandbox and its associated processes suffer from a lack of transparency for publishers. Its aim to replicate the efficacy of third-party cookies has not been realized. This shortfall undermines publishers’ capabilities to execute numerous vital advertising scenarios and support significant first-party use cases,” said Axel Springer general manager advertising & e-commerce Robert Blanck. “The efforts of the IAB Tech Lab are greatly valued, as they gather industry expertise to scrutinize these shortcomings in this complex technical environment.”

    The analysis emphasizes that the changes mandated by Privacy Sandbox will require substantial development and infrastructure investment costs for both buy and sell-side technology companies. Additionally, operational, business, financial, and legal processes for brands, agencies, and media companies will need extensive reworking.

    As the industry grapples with this transformative shift, the report serves as a crucial resource for understanding the challenges and implications associated with Google’s Privacy Sandbox.

    “The Tech Lab welcomes the Chrome team’s feedback on this analysis,” said Katsur. “We look forward to their clarification of the Task Force’s understanding of critical use cases and working with the industry to find solutions to the key issues we’ve surfaced.”
