Expectation Inflation Definition Expectation Inflation is when stakeholders make assumptions or hold expectations that are not realistic to your project. Expectation Inflation Scope Creep Expectation Inflation Examples: 1. Seeing something new and assuming it is already included or at the least can be easily added on to your project. 2. Somebody sees something new or uses a technology in their personal life and makes the “logical” leap that your company already does or should deliver similar capabilities with minimal or no additional resources or time Expectation Inflation Have you seen an increase in expectation inflation impacting your work over the years?

The comic book artist, Emma, works by day at an artificial love doll factory, and is hoping to undergo a secret cosmetic procedure.

Michelle, pens a novel that tells the tale of Emma, who works at an artificial love doll factory… And so it goes..

Future of Music Coalition 7000 West Third Street 1615 L Street NW, Ste. 520 Los Angeles, CA 90048 Washington, DC 20036 August 25, 2014 1 REDACTED – FOR PUBLIC INSPECTION SUMMARY The proposed merger between Comcast and Time Warner Cable (“Applicants”) and the subsequent divestiture transactions between Applicants, Charter Corporation and SpinCo are not in the public interest. The merger of Comcast and Time Warner Cable will enhance the market power of Applicants as cable television and online content distributors. The lack of sufficient competition in both multichannel video programming distributor (“MVPD”) and Internet service provider (“ISP”) markets coupled with Applicants’ dominant market share in both content distribution platforms will have significant anticompetitive effects. Increased distribution power, combined with vertical integration into video programming, enhances Applicants’ incentive to engage in practices that harm upstream content markets. While Applicants may not compete directly in local markets, they are competitors in the market for video programming and this merger eliminates a key market participant. The increased concentration resulting from this merger will occur in a market where evidence provided by Applicants suggests that Comcast already has market power as a buyer, and this merger will enhance such power.

    International In-house Counsel Journal Vol. 11, No. 41, Autumn 2017, 1 The Future is Cordless: How the Cordless Future will Impact Traditional Television SABRINA JO LEWIS Director of Business Affairs, Paramount Television, USA Introduction A cord-cutter is a person who cancels a paid television subscription or landline phone connection for an alternative Internet-based or wireless service. Cord-cutting is the result of competitive new media platforms such as Netflix, Amazon, Hulu, iTunes and YouTube. As new media platforms continue to expand and dominate the industry, more consumers are prepared to cut cords to save money. Online television platforms offer consumers customized content with no annual contract for a fraction of the price. As a result, since 2012, nearly 8 million United States households have cut cords, according to Wall Street research firm MoffettNathanson.1 One out of seven Americans has cut the cord.2 Nielsen started counting internet-based cable-like service subscribers at the start of 2017 and their data shows that such services have at least 1.3 million customers and are still growing.3 The three most popular subscription video-on-demand (“SVOD”) providers are Netflix, Amazon Prime and HULU Plus. According to Entertainment Merchants Association’s annual industry report, 72% of households with broadband subscribe to an SVOD service.4 During a recent interview on CNBC, Corey Barrett, a senior media analyst at M Science, explained that Hulu, not Netflix, appears to be driving the recent increase in cord-cutting, meaning cord-cutting was most pronounced among Hulu subscribers.5 Some consumers may decide not to cut cords because of sports programming or the inability to watch live programing on new media platforms.

There is broad consensus among industry participants that these transactions do not serve the public interest. Comcast’s proposed expansion of traditional and digital media distribution magnifies many of the harms identified by commenters and by the Federal Communications Commission (“Commission” or “FCC”) in the Comcast-NBC Universal (“NBCU”) merger and also raises new concerns. In Comcast-NBCU , the FCC found that the merger would have increased Comcast’s ability and incentive to discriminate against unaffiliated programming 1 and to hinder competition from online video distributors (“OVDs”) through “its exercise of control over consumers’ broadband connections.”2 Now, with the acquisition of TWC, Comcast can expand such harmful practices across a larger share of both the multichannel video programming distribution (“MVPD”) and Internet service provider (“ISP”) markets.
