TRANSATLANTIC DISCUSSION SERVICES ON CABLE

Cable Europe Breakfast Session

Wednesday, June 15
7:00 am - 8:45 am
Location: Room S401ABC, Level 4, South Hall, McCormick Place

Sometimes taking a step back is the best way to get a better view on the issues that matter. Taking the discussion to the higher Transatlantic level reveals an interesting set of comparisons to be made on how Europe is tackling some of the most pressing issues in the cable industry. From how to best manage the growth of HD, approaches to facing the challenges of OTT and areas of common interest such as net neutrality rules from different sides of the Atlantic, the issues abound.

Drawing from high level expert views, we will take a top to bottom look of the cable markets in Europe and the US.  We will take a particular look at latest market trends and figures from Western Europe as well as the emerging high growth areas within Central & Eastern Europe. Challenges to Digital TV and Broadband are just as numerous in Europe as they are in the US. Join us for a discussion on the most recent developments.

Speakers

  •  Cable Europe’s President Manuel Kohnstamm, and Managing Director Public Policy and  Communications, Liberty Global Europe
  • CableLabs’ President & CEO,  Dr. Paul Liao
  • IHS Screen Digest’s Research Director, Guy Bisson
