Content Management and Delivery

In terms of new delivery platforms, GlobeCast will be offering presentations focusing on its OTT offerings.

Finally, GlobeCast will be presenting its collaborative project with France 24 on hybrid broadcast broadband TV (HbbTV). HbbTV gives DTH viewers the same two-way interactive experience that IPTV subscribers already enjoy.
