Expanding MIHL subscriber platform servicesMarais, Marius 12 1900 (has links)
Thesis (MBA)--Stellenbosch University, 2002. / Some digitised pages may appear illegible due to the condition of the original hard copy. / ENGLISH ABSTRACT: It is difficult to dispute the remarkable success that some of the console
manufacturers like Sony experienced with the distribution of the Psone and now the
Playstation 2 consoles. Nonetheless, the tie ratio (the relationship between the
number of games bought per year and the installed base of consoles) is limited on
average to only 2.2 games per Psone sold. It is an achievement, though limited
considering the 5-year timeframe. The relatively low penetration of games can,
amongst other things, be contributed to the retail price of games and the distribution
channel in use.
On the other hand, the PayTV industry has resolved the concept of content
distribution years ago, and has reinvented itself several times along the way, from
analogue to digital to personal video recorders. All of these phases had one common
feature, some sort of encryption to prevent unauthorised viewing. With the invention
of digital data distribution, data transfer speeds in access of 27Mb/s became a
standard feature. As a result, it would be fair to say that PayTV perfected the
distribution of encrypted data at high speed to devices in consumers' homes.
Therefore, it is not inconceivable that a combination of a hard drive and digital
subscriber technology, which can communicate to a game console, could create an
alternative distribution platform for console games. The combination of the devices
could decrease the cost of game distribution, increase the player's choice, decrease
<::
the cost to users, and more importantly, create a monthly revenue stream. In this
manner, the cost hurdle with respect to games could be reduced, and the penetration
and use of game console devices could be increased.
The video game industry is a $24 billion business with substantial revenue generated
from game distribution. By removing the cost hurdle of game distribution, the
penetration of these devices will be accelerated and both parties will benefit.
Although the industry is not geared for this type of content delivery, MIHL's
knowledge and expertise in signing up exclusive content for their PayTV operation and the group's ability to develop technology solutions will prove valuable in
restructuring the games distribution channel. / AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Dit is moeilik om die sukses wat sommige videospeletjie platformvervaardigers soos
Sony ondervind ten opsigte van verspreiding van die Psone platform en nou die
Playstation 2 produk, te weerlê. Nieteenstaande die sukses van
platformverspreiding, is die verhouding tussen die hoeveelheid speletjies en
platforms wat verkoop is, nog steeds beperk tot 2.2 speletjies per platform. 'n
Merkwaardige prestasie op sigself, maar gesien in die lig van die van 'n 5 jaar
verspreidingsperiode is dit tog beperk. Die relatiewe lae penetrasie van speletjies
kan onder andere toegeskryf word aan die hoë kleinhandelsprys van speletjies en die
verspreidingskanaal wat gebruik word.
Aan die ander kant het betaaltelevisie die beginsel van inhoudsverspreiding jare
gelede onder die knie gekry. Gedurende die periode het die televisie-industrie
homself verskeie kere herskep, van analoog programverspreiding tot digitale
verspreiding en laastens die persoonlike video opnemers. AI die fases maak gebruik
van een gemeenskaplike kenmerk, naamlik enkripsie om ongemagtigde besigtiging
te voorkom. Programinhoud versending teen 27 Mega greep per sekonde was
algemeen in gebruik met die daarstelling van digitale data verspreiding. Daarom kan
dit geregverdig wees om te beweer dat betaaltelevisie die verspreiding van
geenkripteerde data, teen hoë spoed, na verbruikers se huise bemeester het.
Gevolglik is dit nie ondenkbaar dat In kombinasie van hardeskyf en digitale
verbruikerstegnologie, wat met videospeletjiesplatforms kan kommunikeer, 'n ,
alternatiewe verspreidingsplatform kan vorm nie. Die geïntegreerde platform kan die
verspreidingskoste verlaag, die verbruikerskeuse verhoog, die kleinhandelspryse van
speletjies verlaag en 'n maandelikse inkomste genereer. Sodoende kan die koste
hekkie gebonde aan speletjies verlaag word en gevolglik die penetrasie en verbruik
van speletjies verhoog word.
Die videospeletjie-industrie is 'n $24 miljard besigheid wat 'n groot gedeelte van die
inkomste genereer deur speletjie verspreiding. Deur die koste hekkie van
verspreiding te verwyder, kan die penetrasie tempo van die speletjies verhoog word
en beide partye kan bevoordeel word. Nieteenstaande die video industrie se onvoorbereid,heid om inhoud elektronies te versprei, kan MIH se kennis en
vaardigheid bm eksklusiewe program inhoud vir televisieplatforms te bekom, asook
die groep se vermoë om tegnologiese oplossings te ontwikkel, 'n waardevolle
instrument wees om die videospeletjie verspreidingskanaal te herstruktureer.

De coadjuvante a protagonista? Os desafios da diversidade cultural, da produção audiovisual independente e regional na TV Paga /Pessotto, Ana Heloiza Vita. January 2016 (has links)
Orientador: Maria Teresa Miceli Kerbauy / Banca: Carlo José Napolitano / Banca: Ruy Sardinha Lopes / Resumo: Esta pesquisa tem como objetivo a avaliação de eficiência da Lei do Serviço de Acesso Condicionado (Lei da TV paga - Lei 12.485/11) a partir dos indicadores: promoção da diversidade cultural, estímulo à produção independente e à produção regional. Para tal fim, a pesquisa apresenta um breve histórico da implantação do serviço de TV paga no Brasil com ênfase para a evolução das regulações direcionadas ao conteúdo. Descreve, com base no modelo do Ciclo de Políticas Públicas, o estágio de implementação da Lei 12.485/11 e o texto final da mesma. Para subsidiar a avaliação, o conceito de cultura nacional é discutido, desvelando as concepções de culturas híbridas (CANCLINI, 2008) e identidades emergentes (BHABHA, 1998) e o papel destes dentro do ambiente cultural globalizado. A presente investigação permite compreender a maneira como se deu a introdução das diretrizes voltadas ao conteúdo na regulação do setor e a forma como estas influenciaram o mercado de produção audiovisual para a TV paga no Brasil. / Abstract: This research aims to evaluate the efficiency of the Conditional Access Service Law (Pay TV - Law - Law 12.485/11) from indicators promoting cultural diversity, fostering of indepentend productions and regional production. For this purpose, the research presents a brief history of pay TV service deployment in Brazil with emphasis on the develpment of regulations directed to the content. It describes, based on the model of the Public Policy Cycle, the implementation stage of Law 12,485/11 and the final text of the same. To support the evaluation, the concept of national culture is discussed, revealing the concepts of hybrid cultures (CANCLINI, 2008). This research allows us to understand the way how was the introduction of guidelines geared to the content in the sector regulation and how they influenced the audiovisual production market for pay TV in Brazil / Mestre

Decade of denial : the CRTC, the public interest, and pay television, 1972-1982Henderson, Jane January 1989 (has links)
The ten year debate over the introduction of pay television in Canada is addressed using the concept of external signals to examine the interactions between the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) and the players in the regulatory environment. / A critique of the notions of "public interest" and of regulatory "capture" precedes the analysis. An historical overview establishes the key issues shaping the nature of the CRTC as a signal-sending and signal-receiving institution. / The evidence demonstrates that the CRTC was not a passive receptor of external signals, but actively shaped and directed or deflected incoming signals according to its own public priorities. The conclusion holds that the traditional capture model does adequately describe the CRTC's behaviour as it attempted to manage the complex political and technological forces surrounding the pay television issue.

Customer perceived value : reconceptualisation, investigation and measurementBruce, Helen Louise 09 1900 (has links)
The concept of customer perceived value occupies a prominent position within the
strategic agenda of organisations, as firms seek to maximise the value perceived by
their customers as arising from their consumption, and to equal or exceed that
perceived in relation to competitor propositions. Customer value management is
similarly central to the marketing discipline. However, the nature of customer value
remains ambiguous and its measurement is typically flawed, due to the poor
conceptual foundation upon which previous research endeavours are built.
This investigation seeks to address the current poverty of insight regarding the nature
and measurement of customer value. The development of a revised conceptual
framework synthesises the strengths of previous value conceptualisations while
addressing many of their limitations. A multi-dimensional depiction of value arising
from customer experience is presented, in which value is conceptualised as arising at
both first-order dimension and overall, second-order levels of abstraction.
The subsequent operationalisation of this conceptual framework within a two-phase
investigation combines qualitative and quantitative methodologies in a study of
customer value arising from subscription TV (STV) consumption. Sixty semi-structured
interviews with 103 existing STV customers give rise to a multi-dimensional model of
value, in which dimensions are categorised as restorative, actualising and hedonic in
type, and as arising via individual, reflected or shared modes of perception. The
quantitative investigation entails two periods of data collection via questionnaires
developed from the qualitative findings, and the gathering of 861 responses, also from
existing STV customers. A series of scales with which to measure value dimensions is
developed and an index enabling overall perceived value measurement is produced.
Contributions to theory of customer value arise in the form of enhanced insights
regarding its nature. At the first-order dimension level, the derived dimensions are of
specific relevance to the STV industry. However, the empirically derived framework of
dimension types and modes of perception has potential applicability in multiple
contexts. At the more abstract, second-order level, the findings highlight that value
perceptions comprise only a subset of potential dimensions. Evidence is thus
presented of the need to consider value at both dimension and overall levels of
perception. Contributions to knowledge regarding customer value measurement also
arise, as the study produces reliable and valid scales and an index. This latter tool is
novel in its formative measurement of value as a second order construct, comprising
numerous first-order dimensions of value, rather than quality as incorporated in
previously derived measures. This investigation also results in a contribution to theory
regarding customer experience through the identification of a series of holistic, discrete,
direct and indirect value-generating interactions.
Contributions to practice within the STV industry arise as the findings present a solution
to the immediate need for enhanced value insight. Contributions to alternative
industries are methodological, as this study presents a detailed process through which
robust value insight can be derived. Specific methodological recommendations arise in
respect of the need for empirically grounded research, an experiential focus and a twostage
quantitative methodology.

Is pay TV meeting its promise?marmcc@bigpond.com, Marion McCutcheon January 2006 (has links)
The broadcasting sector is a subject of continual debate in modern society. One of the
oldest segments of the rapidly-evolving information technology and communications
industry, it is still the most content rich and the most popular. Australians who watch
television spend more time doing so than doing any other leisure activity except those
who fish (ABS 1998). Broadcasting is highly pervasive. Some kind of service is
available and used in every Australian household. Everyone is an expert, everyone has
an opinion. Since the Federal Government decided to allow the introduction of
domestic subscription television in 1992, pay television has been broadly dismissed by
its media rivals as being unpopular, unprofitable and unnecessary. In turn, the
Australian pay television industry considers that it is over-regulated, especially
compared to the free-to-air sector, and that much of this regulation severely constrains
its ability to grow its subscriber base. This thesis examines whether the Australian
subscription television industry has achieved the aims set for it by the legislators in
1992 that is, whether it has met its promise. To achieve this, the thesis first
identifies the promises of an Australian subscription television industry. In assessing
whether the industry has met its promise, the thesis considers various aspects of the
industry, including what the industry has needed to do to make itself profitable and
ensure its longevity and the environment within which the industry operates. The thesis
examines the role that content plays in attracting subscribers and considers whether
minimal content regulation has resulted in a paucity of local content on subscription
television in Australia. The thesis draws on existing academic literature, government
publications, information released by the subscription television industry itself and
interviews conducted in the course of the project with the Australian subscription
television sector. It also uses and builds on ratings data to examine the programs and
channels that are offered by Australian pay television services. In concluding, this
thesis makes an assessment of whether the Australian pay television industry has met its
promise.
