  • The Evolution of the Set-Top Box: Current and Future Trends Affecting Return Path Data Measurement
    The evolution of the set-top box: Current and future trends affecting return path data measurement Analysts: Matt Stump, Karen Brown Prepared for the Council for Research Excellence by One Touch Intelligence © 2012 One Touch Intelligence, LLC. All rights reserved. INDEX 4 Multichannel video program distributors 9 Gaming consoles 12 Smart TVs/Blu-ray players 15 Internet video set-top boxes 25 Tablets/smartphones 26 Summary 2 The evolution of the set-top box — September 2012 INTRODUCTION The set-top box world dominated by cable, DBS and telephone companies is evolving into a more fractured environment for the delivery of live linear programming and video-on-demand content from broadcasters and cable networks. The growth in broadband subscribers and Internet speeds plus the rapid adoption of all manner of digital devices have created a second ecosystem adjacent to the current pay TV environment. Content providers that have been shut out of traditional channel delivery are finding Internet aggregators only too happy to test the limits of the pay TV ecosystem by giving consumers choices beyond traditional broadcast and cable network lineups. At the same time, many of these online aggregators represent an opportunity for content providers to extend the visibility for much of their library product. Such providers also present a promotional opportunity for newly produced content. For multichannel video program distributors (MVPDs), online aggregators present both a cord-cutting threat and a broadband opportunity, since consumers need a broadband connection to access such services. As content distribution has spread to new outlets, new devices have been created for consumers to view that content.

  • DIRECTING the Disorder the CFR Is the Deep State Powerhouse Undoing and Remaking Our World
    DEEP STATE DIRECTING THE Disorder The CFR is the Deep State powerhouse undoing and remaking our world. 2 by William F. Jasper The nationalist vs. globalist conflict is not merely an he whole world has gone insane ideological struggle between shadowy, unidentifiable and the lunatics are in charge of T the asylum. At least it looks that forces; it is a struggle with organized globalists who have way to any rational person surveying the very real, identifiable, powerful organizations and networks escalating revolutions that have engulfed the planet in the year 2020. The revolu- operating incessantly to undermine and subvert our tions to which we refer are the COVID- constitutional Republic and our Christian-style civilization. 19 revolution and the Black Lives Matter revolution, which, combined, are wreak- ing unprecedented havoc and destruction — political, social, economic, moral, and spiritual — worldwide. As we will show, these two seemingly unrelated upheavals are very closely tied together, and are but the latest and most profound manifesta- tions of a global revolutionary transfor- mation that has been under way for many years. Both of these revolutions are being stoked and orchestrated by elitist forces that intend to unmake the United States of America and extinguish liberty as we know it everywhere. In his famous “Lectures on the French Revolution,” delivered at Cambridge University between 1895 and 1899, the distinguished British historian and states- man John Emerich Dalberg, more com- monly known as Lord Acton, noted: “The appalling thing in the French Revolution is not the tumult, but the design. Through all the fire and smoke we perceive the evidence of calculating organization.

  • Racial Economic Inequality Amid the COVID-19 Crisis
    ESSAY 2020-17 | AUGUST 2020 Racial Economic Inequality Amid the COVID-19 Crisis Bradley L. Hardy and Trevon D. Logan i The Hamilton Project • Brookings MISSION STATEMENT The Hamilton Project seeks to advance America’s promise of opportunity, prosperity, and growth. The Project’s economic strategy reflects a judgment that long-term prosperity is best achieved by fostering economic growth and broad participation in that growth, by enhancing individual economic security, and by embracing a role for effective government in making needed public investments. We believe that today’s increasingly competitive global economy requires public policy ideas commensurate with the challenges of the 21st century. Our strategy calls for combining increased public investments in key growth-enhancing areas, a secure social safety net, and fiscal discipline. In that framework, the Project puts forward innovative proposals from leading economic thinkers — based on credible evidence and experience, not ideology or doctrine — to introduce new and effective policy options into the national debate. The Project is named after Alexander Hamilton, the nation’s first treasury secretary, who laid the foundation for the modern American economy. Consistent with the guiding principles of the Project, Hamilton stood for sound fiscal policy, believed that broad-based opportunity for advancement would drive American economic growth, and recognized that “prudent aids and encouragements on the part of government” are necessary to enhance and guide market forces. ii The Hamilton Project • Brookings Racial Economic Inequality Amid the COVID-19 Crisis Bradley L. Hardy American University Trevon D. Logan The Ohio State University AUGUST 2020 This policy essay is an essay from the author(s).

  • Direct Investments in the US by Indian Enterprises Setting the New Agenda
    Direct investments in the US by Indian enterprises Setting the new agenda October 2012 – December 2014 Rajiv Memani Chairman - India Region, EY Prime Minister Mr. Narendra Modi’s recent visit to the US in September 2014 added new dimensions to the dialogue between our two nations, and instilled renewed confidence in business leaders. The Fifth US-India Strategic Dialogue and the visit of the US dignitaries to India were amongst the other recent events that reinforced bilateral ties between the two countries. At the same time, the US President Barack Obama’s visit to India is expected to provide an additional push to Indo-US relations. From a business standpoint, the U.S has always held out significant appeal to businesses seeking to make a global impact. It is ranked as one of the world’s topmost investment destinations. Direct investments in the US by Indian enterprises, is a series launched by EY and FICCI in 2006 to unravel the lesser known story of Indian FDI into the US. Today, hundreds of Indian companies are operating in the US. They have invested millions of dollars, generated and supported thousands of jobs, and made a deep impact through their philanthropic initiatives and community engagements. These companies have shown the courage to successfully compete with their global peers on their home turf. This report is the fifth in a series, initiated in 2006, which has become a “ready reckoner” for anyone seeking to do business with and in the US. Indian investments in the US have remained strong during October 2012 to December 2014, despite global and domestic economic turbulence.

  • The US Imbalancing Act: Can the Current Account Deficit Continue?
    McKinsey Global Institute The US Imbalancing Act: Can the Current Account Deficit Continue? June 2007 McKinsey Global Institute The McKinsey Global Institute (MGI), founded in 1990, is McKinsey & Company’s economics research arm. MGI’s mission is to help business and government leaders develop a deeper understanding of the evolution of the global economy, and provide a fact-base that contributes to decision making on critical management and policy issues. MGI’s research is a unique combination of two disciplines: economics and management. By integrating these two perspectives, MGI is able to gain insights into the microeconomic underpinnings of the broad trends shaping the global economy. MGI has utilized this “micro-to-macro” approach in research covering over 15 countries and 28 industry sectors, on topics that include economic productivity, global economic integration, offshoring, capital markets, health care, energy, demographics, and consumer demand. MGI’s research is conducted by a group of full-time MGI Fellows based in offices in San Francisco, Washington, DC, London, and Shanghai and led by MGI’s director Diana Farrell. MGI project teams also include consultants drawn from McKinsey’s offices around the world, and are supported by McKinsey’s network of industry and management experts and worldwide partners. In addition, MGI teams work with leading economists, including Nobel laureates and policy experts, who act as advisors to MGI projects. MGI’s research is funded by the partners of McKinsey & Company and not commissioned by any business, government, or other institution. Further information about MGI and copies of MGI’s published reports can be found at www.mckinsey.com/mgi.
