About this book
Reviews
“The author discusses the unfolding broadcast distribution ecosystem. Anyone concerned with how to distribute content with new networks, regulations, consumer expectations, and technologies will want this information. The book provides an excellent starting point to understand the content distribution universe. ... The writing style is easily comprehended and quick and to the point. ... The book provides an important and timely introduction to an easily overlooked but important issue.” (Brad Reid, Computing Reviews, May, 2017)
“It is Beutler’s deep understanding of the special circumstances of PSBs and the complexities of the broadcast value chain that make this such a worthwhile book. … he is not part of the ‘pull up the drawbridge’ PSB fraternity, who regard the mobile industry as eating away at public assets for commercial gain. He … makes a plea for broadcasters to remain engaged in the industry and standards groups that will determine the future of distribution channels in their medium.” (Martin Sims, Policy Tracker, policytracker.com, December, 2016)
