Consultancy

We enable the transition to an online future where media services are delivered over the internet and distribution depends on discovery, universal availability, and user experience.

Strategy

Previously predominant national broadcasters now face direct competition with global players. They need a strategy to transform and modernise the delivery and presentation of their services to retain audiences and maintain prominence and relevance in a competitive environment, where distribution is no longer defined by a broadcast licence and traditional transmission infrastructure.

This transition has profound implications for everyone in the ecosystem, from national broadcasters and media providers, to consumer electronics companies, and policy-makers and regulators.

As the world moves to internet standards for the delivery of audiovisual media, the challenge is to:

• Satisfy expectations of users by providing intuitive experiences.

• Offer services that are discoverable, accessible, and universally available.

• Reach viewers across different devices and displays.

• Enable navigation across scheduled and library programming.

• Adopt standards that interoperate and scale across multiple markets.

Advice and support

We offer expert consultancy to support this technological shift. Our advisory services include:

• Strategic briefings — providing insight into evolving technologies, international trends, and regulatory frameworks.

• Interactive workshops — facilitating collaborative discussion across teams and providing answers to key questions.

• Standards alignment — helping organisations implement and conform to international industry standards and specifications.

• Product guidance — supporting broadcasters, service providers, and consumer electronics companies in integrating and implementing service discovery.

• Policy advice — assisting policy-makers, public bodies, and regulators in developing policies that protect prominence, access, and plurality.

• Readiness review — evaluating technical, operational, and strategic preparedness for migration routes to online service delivery.

Our team of advisors collectively has decades of experience in launching and operating hybrid and online television platforms and services.

We work with national broadcasters, streaming platforms, manufacturers, and regulators to bridge the gap between vision and implementation, offering insight, experience, and practical solutions.

We have deep technical expertise in implementing and deploying systems based on open technical standards like DVB-I and HbbTV.

We can support technical evaluations, pilot projects, and service deployments.
