DTVE Autumn Symposium 2021

The last year has seen an unprecedented acceleration of change in the video distribution business, including the migration of consumption from broadcast to streaming video pushing consolidation, an intensifying battle for the attention of consumers, and a big shift in the strategies of established players across the entire value chain.
