Digital assets include many things, from music, video, games, software, applications to advertisement content.Devices are increasingly more connected and powerful. Consumers have many choices and expect the convenience of doing what they want, when they want and on any device.Consumers also want social networking, engaging with their family and friends as well as strangers across the Internet with similar interests of watching the same show.Consumers don’t care what networks are used – broadcast, broadband and mobile networks are already easily accessible in many parts of the world to enable service delivery to consumers. The consumer is king, in the center, with the power of choice. Whether you are a content creator, content provider, a device manufacturer or an application / middleware builder, the only way to remain relevant to the consumer is by satisfying his demands and exceeding his expectations better than anyone else.Irdeto enables Irdeto’s customers to fulfill these needs, with solutions and services for many industries and organizations, including pay media operators, game developers, mobile service providers and application owners. Additional background infoThe power of digital technology has afforded us a truly connected world. Each day, we converse with colleagues and friends around the world, share information for business or personal reasons, participate in online communities and enjoy the digital sights and sounds that are delivered to us how, where and when we want. Though behind the scenes, making the connected day a reality is not as simple as a click on a computer or remote control or the touch on a mobile device. To create sustainable growth engines, and maintain the flexibility to address an on demand, choice-driven consumer era requires that content creators and providers securely protect their digital assets from theft or misuse; and yet all the while, continue to develop and deliver compelling media experiences that draw audiences back for more. However, protecting digital assets is not just about music, videos and games. Every day, businesses rely on Irdeto for the assurance that information and digital assets will not be compromised or transgress compliance regulations. Creating Customer Loyalty in a Hyper-Choice Environment Digital content distributors and device manufacturers know that there’s no shortage of options for consumers when it comes to choosing content and devices to play that content. When there’s always another alternative, customer loyalty is at a premium, which makes any compromises to content or devices a risk to a company’s reputation and bottom line. Irdeto thrives when it comes to protecting high quality content on a variety of platforms including TVs, video recorders, set-top boxes, PCs, video game consoles, mobile phones, and any portable media devices. Irdeto technology enables content creators and distributors to maximize the value of their digital assets through secure, flexible environments that respond to consumers who take charge of how, where, what, and when they want to tune in to digital content. For business customers, Irdeto allays a company’s fear of compromised digital content, allowing them to focus on what they do best. Life Cycle Security is KeyIrdeto believes that the most effective way of protecting and securing digital assets is through a proactive approach that prevents hackers, misuse and theft before it strikes. Since the digital life cycle is only as strong as the weakest link in the chain, Irdeto protects digital assets at every point from idea generation to product creation and all the way through final delivery to the home or office. Irdeto also recognizes the proliferation of digital content on various devices including televisions, mobile phones, game consoles, and media devices, and has designed its technology to protect all digital content regardless of the network, device or platform on which it was built or where it will be displayed.

One major factor that provides consumer with new choices is the increase in broadband penetration, speed and most importantly, quality:low latency and jitter are critical to video delivery and next-generation services.At 11Mbps download speed, online digital piracy takes off based on a study as it takes just 15 minutes to download a movie over the Internet. It’s easy and fast to do, nearly for everyone. In some countries, especially in the developing world, it may be easier to build a 4G mobile network for broadband connectivity instead of building a fixed broadband network. At 20~80 Mbps download speed, many next-gen services can be provided. Example: Sweden operator launched a 4G service in Stockholm in Nov/Dec 2009, with plans for a 30-city rollout in 2010.Other points of interest:2008 to 2009 big step in quality in a number of countries to be ready for tomorrowGreen graph: Download: 3.75 Mbps, Upload: 1 Mbps, Latency:95 msPurple graph: Download: 11.25 Mbps, Upload: 5 Mbps, Latency:60 ms

Examples of services offered in this market include subscription, pre-paid, pre-enabled, auto-expiry, CI+ CAM, post and view (on the Internet).Dynamic content: in this market / stage, consumers demand more flexibility in the way they consumer content; they want it anytime, anywhere, and often across any network type.
