VideoAge International September 2018

4 September 2018 World The two-day event features core session programming that includes traditional keynotes and panel discussions from power players in media on everything from next-gen technology to new business models. As for the targeted programs presented at NAB New York, TVNewscheck’s annual TV 2020: Monetizing the Future conference will open with a keynote interview between the aforementioned McManus and Auletta, author of Frenemies: The Epic Disruption of the Ad Business (and Everything Else) , in which Auletta is expected to discuss adaptive strategies for advertising’s new landscape. In the past, NAB New York has seen over 14,000 attendees and more than 300 exhibitors. Airports’ War on The Digital World N owadays, travelers need to be connected online at all times, and their electronic devices need to be recharged frequently. For this reason most airlines have been providing electrical outlets and Wi-Fi service on airplanes. The problem is that airports in both the U.S. and in Europe have not yet fully realized that we live in a digital era and are not providing a sufficient number of electrical outlets or adequate Wi-Fi coverage. At Terminal 4 of New York City’s JFK airport, for example, the only electrical outlets to be found are in an area where sanitary personnel are often using the plugs for their vacuum cleaners. Similarly, at T2 of Los Angeles’ LAX, passengers who do not have access to the Premium Lounge have to go to the second floor and search for unused outlets on the wall. Ditto for Terminal H at Miami’s MIA, where many of the few wall plugs available are actually damaged. In Europe, the situation is at its worst in Italy at Milan’s MXP, where the only electrical outlet at Terminal B can be found near the toilets. This writer can’t comment too much about MXP, though, since the last time he made an observation about it, he and his Italian newspaper ( Corriere Adriatico) were sued for defamation (the charges were later dropped). T his year, at NAB New York, expect to meet author Ken Auletta and CBS Sports chairman Sean McManus. Organized by the Washington, D.C.-based National Association of Broadcasters, NAB Show New York will, for the fourth straight year, gather media, entertainment, and telecom executives at the Javits Convention Center from October 17-18, 2018. The event focuses primarily on the technical, legislative and regulatory aspects of the entertainment sector, but its dates overlap with the Cannes, France-based MIPCOM, which focuses on international content sales. NAB Show New York will also host a two-day Streaming Summit, which was first introduced at this year’s NAB Show in Las Vegas. Co-produced by streaming industry expert Dan Rayburn, the Streaming Summit will focus on a wide range of topics, such as best practices for distributing and monetizing online video.
