Bein Dispute Hits MENA Pay TV Subs beIN dispute hits MENA pay TV subs Pay TV revenues for 20 MENA countries fell by 11% between 2016 and 2018 to just under $3 billion. Given the hangover from the beIN ban and falling ARPUs, revenues in 2024 ($3.28 billion) will still be lower than in 2016 ($3.36 billion). Pay TV revenues by country in 2024 ($m) Turkey, 910 Others, 718 Egypt, 161 UAE, 398 Israel, 675 S Arabia, 417 Source: Digital TV Research Five countries will contribute 78% of the region’s pay TV revenues in 2024. Turkey and Israel together will supply nearly half the pay TV revenues in 2024. Concentrating just on the 13 Arabic-speaking countries, pay TV revenues fell by 16% from $1,254 million in 2016 to $1,059 million in 2018. The total will recover to reach $1,432 million by 2024. Pay TV subscriptions fell by 9.5% between 2016 and 2018 to 3.40 million, but will progress to 5.23 million by 2024. Simon Murray, Principal Analyst at Digital TV Research, said: “Pay TV in the MENA region has been hit by a Saudi-led ban on the sale of Qatar-backed beIN decoders and subscriptions since mid-2017.” He continued: “The ban has been compounded by BeoutQ, an illegal platform that retransmits some of beIN’s content especially its exclusive sports rights. The region is no stranger to piracy, but the sophistication of the BeoutQ operation is beyond anything seen before. beIN is fiercely protesting BeoutQ, with the support of major content owners, especially sports federations. We believe that the situation will be resolved in 2019; given the international pressure to drop the ban and to close BeoutQ.” beIN lost 464,000 subscribers – or 47% of its subs base - in the two years to end- 2018 to take its total down to 525,000. The 2016 total is unlikely to be bettered until 2021. beIN is forecast have 1.40 million subscribers by 2024. Pay TV turmoil is not confined to the Arab world. OTT platforms provide considerable competition to the traditional pay TV sector in the region’s largest markets: Israel and Turkey. Israel will lose 10% of its pay TV subs between 2014 to 2024. Israeli pay TV revenues will fall from more than $1 billion in 2015 to $675 million in 2024 – down by a third. The Turkish pay TV market has been shaken up by greater competition. Turkish pay TV revenues will reach $910 million in 2024; lower than the 2016 total. However, the number of pay TV subscribers will grow from 7.15 million in 2018 to 9.01 million in 2024. Turk Telekom will become the region’s largest operator by subscriber numbers in 2020.

About 87% of the 6.07 million TV households receive satellite signals, with the vast majority taking free-to-air channels. Despite IPTV growth, the pay TV penetration rate will only be 19.4% in 2024, up by 5 percentage points on 2018. Main assumptions behind the forecasts • FTA satellite is the most common platform. • Pay satellite TV has been hit by the ban on beIN (Saudi Arabia was its largest market) and the illegal nature of BeoutQ. • IPTV will continue to grow. • Analog switch-off took place in 2015. Source: Digital TV Research • Pay TV revenues will reach $417 million in 2024, up by $110 million on 2018. Satellite TV ($222 million in 2024) will supply most of the pay TV revenues, although its share of the total will fall as IPTV ($195 million) makes its mark. • The ongoing dispute between Saudi Arabia and Qatar has hit beIN’s subscriber numbers across the region. Most governments have followed the Saudi ban on beIN – although not all of them have enforced the ban that effectively. The ban started in mid-2017. However, we believe that it will be resolved in 2019; given the pressure on Saudi Arabia to drop the ban and to close pirate platform BeoutQ from many organizations, especially sports federations and other content owners. • beIN is owned by Al Jazeera. Part of the disagreement involves the Saudi government not liking comments made on Al Jazeera about its regime. The same is true of the Egyptian government. Egypt and Saudi Arabia were key markets for beIN. Even when the ban on beIN is lifted and BeoutQ closed down, beIN is unlikely to regain its former subs numbers in Saudi Arabia and Egypt. • beIN lost 276,000 subscribers in the two years to end-2018 to take its total to 114,000. Despite the likely lifting of the ban and the expected closure of BeoutQ, the 2016 total is unlikely to be recovered during our forecast period as the government will continue to discourage beIN subscriptions. We forecast that beIN will have 349,000 subs by 2024. beIN monthly subscription fees ($) Package Channels Price Access 47 10 Top Sports Access + 14 channels 25 Top Entertainment Access + 26 channels 25 Complete 67 channels 30 Elite Complete + World Cup and Euros + on- 45 demand access Source: beIN • Sports is a major attraction for beIN.

Furthermore, it screens NBA, ATP tennis and three Opens, F1 and Tour de France action. beIN has 13 dedicated sports channels. beIN is broadening its appeal into the Entertainment sphere. beIN acquired the Miramax studio in March 2016.

Reports suggested that ART had as many as 1 million satellite TV subscribers across the Arabic-speaking countries, although the total fell after ART joined forces with former rival OSN. • In March 2014, Saudi-based Arabsat ordered four more satellites; two to replace existing satellites and two to increase capacity. The satellites will launch in 2016 and 2017.

DSL subs numbers are falling, but the other category (which includes FTTH) is climbing. • Saudi Telecoms Company is the largest telco (wireless and wireline) in the Arabic world. As well as offering up to a 300Mbps broadband connection, STC launched its Invision TV service (including Abu Dhabi Sports and various OSN packages. However, the beIN channels were dropped) offered as part of a triple-play package) in August 2010. We estimate that Invision had 305,000 subs by end-2018, with 409,000 forecast by 2024. • The Basic package provides 90 FTA channels to triple-play subs. Jawwy TV provides linear channels and 7,000 on-demand titles. STC has carried Starz Play since September 2016. Other SVOD platforms include Widekhaliji (local programs) and BluTV (Turkish series). • Etihad Etisalat, parent of mobile operator Mobily, owns 66% of the Saudi National Fiber Network, which comprises 24,000km. Mobily’s fiber optic network offers various TV packs (including OSN) and up to 450Mbps broadband speeds as part of triple-play bundles. We estimate that the company had 150,000 IPTV subs by end-2018, which will climb to 251,000 by 2024. Mobily carries Starz Play (SAR35/month). • Etihad Atheeb, trading as Go and 15% owned by Bahrain’s Batelco, has 200,000 broadband subscribers (a mixture of WiMAX (up to 3Mbps) and FTTH (up to 200Mbps)) in 12 cities.

    DEUTSCHE TV-PLATTFORM: HYBRID TV - BETTER TV HBBTV AND MUCH, MUCH MORE Deutsche TV Platform (DTVP) was founded more than 25 years ago to introduce and develop digital media tech- nologies based on open standards. Consequently, DTVP was also involved in the introduction of HbbTV. When the HbbTV initiative started at the end of 2008, three of the four participating companies were members of the DTVP: IRT, Philips, SES Astra. Since then, HbbTV has played an important role in the work of DTVP. For example, DTVP did achieve the activation of HbbTV by default on TV sets in Germany; currently, HbbTV 2.0 is the subject of a ded- icated DTVP task force within the Working Group Smart Media. HbbTV is a perfect blueprint for the way DTVP works by promoting the exchange of information and opinions between market participants, stakeholders and social groups, coordinating their various interests.

After a 35-year career of teaching the martial art, O’Kelly has retired. A Saranac Lake resident, O’Kelly opened the Northeast Taekwondo school in this village in Sept. 2016. On Saturday, he performed his final duty as the head of the school, pro - moting 19 local students to black belts during an outdoor ceremony held on the North Country Commu - nity College soccer field. O’Kelly said all 19 who were promoted were original students of the Saranac Lake-based school when it opened nearly four years ago, and the youngest new black belt earner was 9-year-old Cole Davide. The ceremony was held on a chilly, damp day with plenty of space between the students, who all wore matching black facemasks that included an image of a martial artist. The day began with testing and ended with the handing out of black belts and certificates. O’Kelly said Easton Crary is presented his black belt by Northeast Taek - he was especially impressed with wondo school instructor Grand Master Jon O’Kelly. the display by his students because the school has been shut down for itself.” he said.

  • Saudi Pirate Beoutq Steals Opening Games of Premier League And
    Saudi pirate beoutQ steals opening games of Premier League and Ligue 1 as Cisco, NAGRA and Overon conclusively confirm that pirate channels are distributed on Riyadh-based Arabsat LONDON, PARIS, DOHA, NEW YORK – August 16, 2018 – Pressure has intensified on Saudi Arabia to end the industrial-scale piracy of world sport as three of the world’s leading digital security, media solutions and technology companies, Cisco Systems, NAGRA and Overon, have today independently and definitively confirmed that the Saudi-based pirate TV channel beoutQ – which has orchestrated a plague of piracy on world sport over the past year – is being distributed on the satellite provider Arabsat. This technical evidence establishes beyond any doubt the involvement of Riyadh- based Arabsat in the most widespread piracy of sports broadcasting that the world has ever seen. Having stolen every single game of the recent FIFA World Cup in Russia, the spectre of Saudi piracy returned with renewed vigour this weekend. Two of European football’s highest profile leagues, the English Premier League and France’s Ligue 1, kicked off their widely anticipated 2018/19 seasons but their broadcasts were, once again, stolen and distributed illegally across Saudi Arabia. Starting with the Premier League’s curtain-raiser of Manchester United v Leicester City on Friday through to Manchester City v Arsenal on Sunday, all 10 of the Premier League’s games were illegally broadcast live by beoutQ and Arabsat; while 6 of the 10 opening games of Ligue 1, including PSG v Caen, were also stolen. The pirate channel also brazenly promoted coverage of upcoming games it will show from LaLiga and the Bundesliga, both which start in the coming weeks, as a sign of beoutQ’s endless pipeline of piracy.

She was in charge of the Business Program of Casa Árabe and worked as a Market Analyst at the Spanish Commercial Office in Amman (Jordan) Abstract On the 5th of June 2017, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Egypt and Bahrain announced the rupture of diplomatic relations and the closure of borders with Qatar in response to its alleged support for terrorist activities destabilising the region. In order to revert the situation, 13 demands were made, which Qatar refuses to meet. Qatar was isolated within the Gulf Cooperation Council and its international image was damaged, particularly after the Trump Administration backed the blockade. In these trying circumstances, Qatar has managed to resist by developing a public diplomacy that integrates the analogue and digital environments in which communications play a vital role. Qatar has protested its innocence before regional and international public opinion, and it has denounced the anti-Qatar campaign and fake news stories that flooded social media, particularly Twitter, before and during the first months of the crisis.
