As the content industries in the UK attempt to understand and capitalise on convergence, this seminar explored the evolving business models for online content distributors and their impact on the financial sustainability and structure of the sector. Sessions examined the latest trends in consumer consumption, how free, subscription, ad-funded and pay-per-view models are being turned into competitive advantage and the impact on growth of competing and non-compatible proprietary formats - such as those for ebooks, music, movies and streaming television. Delegates considered the emerging options for copyright holders to retain control of online works whilst extracting maximum value, the costs and potential cost-savings for content-makers from convergence and the consequences of legacy support for 'analogue' distribution platforms.
