Vietnam Satellite Symposium 2015 (recap)

CASBAA’s Wireless Action Group (WAG) was a sponsoring partner for an ITU/Government of Vietnam Satellite Symposium in Da Nang on Sept. 30-Oct. 1. Numerous member companies participated, and spoke about the need to defend C-band at the upcoming ITU WRC Conference in November.

John Medeiros used CASBAA’s “speaking” slot to show a short video produced by the Philippine Cable Television Association (PCTA), talking about the very severe interference problems they are suffering, from LTE rollout in the extended C-band. John used that as a hook to urge all concerned Asian governments to speak up in the ITU process.

Delegates also heard from Myanmar’s Deputy Minister for ICT U Thaung Tin, who discussed his government’s national goals to develop the domestic satellite business.

Organised by Lightning International in partnership with CASBAA the conference examined the two sides of the coin with companies looking into China as well as China looking outward. Several CASBAA members participated with the majority of attendees coming from the domestic media scene. Monetization of content continues to be a challenge, speakers noted, and John Medeiros chaired a discussion on Piracy in the aptly named session To Pay or Not to Pay.

Pacific Islands Take A Stand on Satellite Spectrum

At the 8th APT Policy & Regulation Forum for Pacific (Tonga, mid-June), the government of Papua New Guinea led a successful effort to spark a common initiative by the Pacific Islands in favor of continued satellite use of C-band spectrum. Fiji, Marshall Islands, Kiribati, Nauru, Tonga, Samoa, Vanuatu, and Tuvalu joined PNG in adopting a request for an Asian Common Position to be taken up at upcoming ITU spectrum meetings. Maui Sanford, CASBAA’s consultant who attended the meeting and monitored progress, said “this was a crucial step. It was great that the Islands found their voice. They are determined to protect satellite links that are so important to them; after all there is no realistic alternative to C-band, in our region full of sun and sea… and tropical rainfade!”

Online Advertising Support for Piracy Growing

CASBAA’s Chief Policy Officer John Medeiros spoke to the annual meeting of the ABU Copyright Committee about problems posed for all broadcasters by advertising support for online piracy.

He said advertising codes developed in Europe and North America demonstrated practices that should be promoted in Asia. A copy of the presentation and other information on online ad issues can be downloaded here:

The objective of MAAT is to establish “Multi-Platform” measurement to reflect increasing use of laptops, tablets and smartphones for content viewing. Wannee established that the research firm has not yet been chosen, a tender is now open, and the selection process should be completed by July of 2015.
