Hong Kong, April 27, 2006-C The Cable & Satellite Broadcasting Association of Asia (CASBAA) will hold the sixth annual CASBAA Satellite Industry Forum in Singapore on Monday June 19, 2006. The CASBAA Forum traditionally acts as a curtain-raiser for the CommunicAsia trade show in Singapore.
Issues to be addressed at the conference include the impact on satellite markets of mobile TV, IPTV services and the roll-out of HDTV while navigating a complex regulatory environment. As always, there is a strong focus on Asia and this year DTH operators from some of the fastest growing markets in the world – India, Indonesia, Korea and Malaysia – will share their insights.
The impact of the new technologies is having a profound impact on Asias satellite industry as new demand builds for IPTV, mobile, DTH and HDTV services. The industry is only now feeling the clear benefit of these changes, said CASBAA CEO, Simon Twiston Davies.
Meanwhile the regulatory environment underpins our industry and a close examination of that environment will provide new insights on the future of the Asia-Pacific market.
The CASBAA Satellite Industry Forum is the premier forum in Asia for satellite market strategy discussion, said William Wade, Deputy, CEO of AsiaSat and Chairman of CASBAAs Satellite Industry Committee. This year we expect in excess of 200 high-end decision makers to participate.
Confirmed speakers include CEOs and decision-making executives from Asia, North America and Europe including ISRO, Intelsat, Discovery Networks, PT Direct Vision (Indonesia), Tata Sky (India), DREAM (Philippines), AsiaSat, Intelsat, NHK, Panamsat, Rainbow Media, SES IP Prime, and law firm Freshfields.
