Why TelcoTV Still Matters

So I'm using this blog to refer you over to another blog - but if you haven't yet seen it, check out Carol Wilson's latest "Why TelcoTV Still Matters".

For those who don't know yet - Carol Wilson is a recent addition to the TelcoTV Team, now serving as the Conference Chairwoman - driving the educational program and session content.   (Oh, and one last minute plug- the TelcoTV Call for Speakers closes tonight). 

An easier way to submit your TelcoTV speaker/topic ideas

You spoke - we listened!  Yes, I completely agree that in the past the Call for Papers process has been a little cumbersome. That online form was a bit hard to handle and definitely resulted in its fair share of angst and frustration.  So you'll be happy to know that we've simplified the process. You can now submit your ideas via an easy to use word doc - and then email your completed form to Submissions@TelcoTVonline.com

So go ahead, send in your submissions - its easier now than ever before!

Heavy Reading Examines Current Climate for Pay TV Service

‘Making TV Pay: The Telco Challenge’ at TelcoTV 2009

Most up-to-date, exclusive consumer survey on pay TV services from service providers
gathers critical data on provider preferences, satisfaction levels, and churn drivers


Building on the interest in primary research highlighted at last year's Telco TV, Heavy Reading will be unveiling the results of a new study, “Making TV Pay: The Telco Challenge,” at TelcoTV 2009 on Wednesday November 11 at 12:30 pm in room N220 G. This new research addresses changes in subscribers’ mindsets over the last 12 months, comparing last year’s findings with the current survey fielded in September 2009. It identifies changes in consumer attitudes, their satisfaction levels with their pay TV providers, their interest in new digital applications, and their willingness to consider a new pay TV provider. The study analyzes changes in consumers’ thinking, helping companies across the IPTV value chain identify current market trends and consumer attitudes enabling more targeted, cost-effective marketing programs and service offerings. In addition, this year's study examines consumer adoption of over-the-top video, and provides insight into its market disruption potential.
