The Future of Broadcasting: My presentation at the Dutch Broadcasting Convention (NPOX 2008) in Hilversum

Omroep It's always a great pleasure to be in Holland where people are usually very open to Change and... where 88.4% of the population is online ;)  I was invited by the Dutch Broadcasting Organization (OMROEP) to speak about The End of Control, the People formerly known as Consumers and the Future of Broadcasting (Radio and TV), at their annual gathering and conference, NPOX. 

Here is the DutcPicture_11h description of the session:  "Gerd Leonhard (Swi) is Media Futurist. Volgens hem zijn we slechts 1 a 2 jaar verwijderd van een generatie die ´af en toe online´ is, naar een generatie die ´nooit meer off-line´ is. In zijn verhaal ‘the end of control and the people formerly known as Consumers’, laat hij zien wat de gevolgen zijn van deze verschuiving op het gebied van economie, cultuur en media en wat de trends en uitdagingen zijn voor de toekomst"  Google translates this in true web-way here.   

So, as usual, here is the PDF (4MB, ~50 pages) the_future_of_broadcasting_gerd_leonhard_npox_2008_.pdf

5 steps to finding another way forward: getting on the right track to the Future of the Music Business Cross posted from the MidemNet blog, Nov 6, 2008 I really enjoyed Ted Cohen's MidemNetblog post from last week as it quite succinctly pointed out the urgency to act now, and to implement real changes in the way the music industry works. I feel strongly that there may very well not be too many gatherings like MIDEM in the very near future if we don't embrace CHANGE much quicker than we have been. I wrote on the SAG's strike and a project called Strike.TV on my Mediafuturist blog yesterday, highlighting the fact that the rule seems to be that we don't change unless the PAIN gets big enough. Well, it seems to me that we are there, right now, so here are 5 things that I believe would help us get there: Truly collaborate to arrive at sweeping and effective solutions: the music industry has been notorious for in-fighting, wide-spread distrust, clubbiness and ludicrously fragmented business procedures and licensing rules. We need an industry-wide innovation initiative that looks at new business models from a global joint perspective of labels and publishers, artists and managers, agents and promoters, startups and societies. We need to rethink our traditional business rules and put the cards on the table - or that very table will start to burn down while we're sitting at it. Watch and listen to the kids i.e. the digital natives, and then offer business models that will serve them in the way they want to be served, not as we would prefer them to be served. This is seriously ingrained problem in the music industry: all too often, we are assuming the 'consumer' aka user to be different than they really are, and / or we are thinking of them to act like we do. This is a deadly mistake,...

Why Apple Won't Allow Adobe Flash on iPhone (Wired.com) - but not for long I think Good story here: Why Apple Won't Allow Adobe Flash on iPhone | Wired.com. The marvels: "Don't hold your breath waiting for the iPhone to support Adobe's Flash software: Apple's terms-of-service agreement prohibits it....Allowing Flash — which is a development platform of its own — would just be too dangerous for Apple, a company that enjoys exerting total dominance over its hardware and the software that runs on it. Flash has evolved from being a mere animation player into a multimedia platform capable of running applications of its own. That means Flash would open a new door for application developers to get their software onto the iPhone: Just code them in Flash and put them on a web page. In so doing, Flash would divert business from the App Store, as well as enable publishers to distribute music, videos and movies that could compete with the iTunes Store" Plausible explanation but of course there is no way Apple can let this continue in the long run - everyone wants Flash on their mobile devices. Zero chance for Apple to keep the lid on like this, imho. What do you think? Picture via Flickr - well done Martin!
