ALL RIGHTS RESERVED. CABLE LINE 3 Editor's note

Greetings!

This years convention was a great success! Congratulations Dr. Venancio Lo and the rest of the convention staff for putting together a memorable and enjoyable one for all of us!!

Aside from the fun it also served to be an eye opening one. As we saw from many of the exhibits the options for cable operators are seemingly limitless. Content is growing exponentially. So many new channels, old channels rebranded and the flagship channels added even more popular content. Delivery options also grew. A plethora of new technologies made themselves known and as we look outward there are even more. It highlights even more that the cable industry cannot remain static. Its time to SHIFT this is no longer a choice.

A shift in point of view is critical. Competition is no longer internal among pay TV operators nor is it within the countries borders. In a blink of an eye, one of the telco supported streaming services might eat into your subscriber base. A myriad of IPTV providers based outside the country are able to offer services here. Focus your energy on your neighbor and you might be blindsided by competition from another hemisphere.

A shift in business model is key. All over the world pay TV operators are trying to add as many additional services as possible. Most already have, while a lot of us still offer the same things we offered 20 years ago.

Convergence is not happening. It has happened. The industry as a whole has much bigger problems than we previously thought. There will be no better time for us to work together as an association and move together into the future. We need each other. It’s time too look at the big picture as one.

Lastly, I’d like to take this chance to thank Cedric Sazon our president, Allan Dungao, Dr. Venancio Lo, Atty. Goering Paderanga, Jr. Victoriano Sy, Romeo Zerrudo and Alex Paras for the service they’ve rendered to this association during their terms as directors.

I hope everyone enjoys this issue
