Product Code: R290-332Description The media and entertainment industry experienced a “vibrant” year according to Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu (DTT) in its 2007 edition of the TMT Industry Group’s Media Predictions report. This performance is attributed to the following factors:
- Digital music continues to grow in popularity, facilitated by the increasing range of online retailers and MP3 players;
- The television industry is in flux with the launch of larger television sets, increasing demand for high-definition equipment and “huge excitement, though little revenue, from IPTV”;
- A decrease in the price of memory and processors has enabled further digitization of the media production process;
- Growth in the online video market, driven by participation in virtual worlds;
- “Reinvention” of radio, in the expansion of digital services and the launch of new digital sets;
- The increased participation of consumers in shaping the media landscape as illustrated by the estimated 60 million blogs worldwide and an increase in user-generated video content that has become headline news.
