Just as TV3.0 comes to finalisation, the consumption world is moving to streaming. Similar to ATSC3.0 in the US... Has it just taken too long, and is it going to be overtaken by the rapid changes in consumption models that are making streaming the default for everyone? Answer Yes. The ROI of TV3.0 is likely to be low as it is for ATSC3.0.

Are you going to "wait and see" if a Neo Bank with modern technology becomes the most valuable financial institution (FI) in the country, as it did in Brazil? It was once unthinkable, but it happened! Digital Twin technology opens the door for seamless modernization, yielding results year after year, and preparing FIs for instant payments if they become a reality. There's debate about whether instant payments will take hold in the USA (I believe they will). But everyone knows legacy technology won't last forever, and this could be a vulnerability that new players exploit to capture your market share. https://lnkd.in/gm4xn-KT

Superfan is one of the biggest buzzwords in the music industry this year. Beyonce, who has 319 million followers on Instagram, has so many the music industry is looking for ways to tap into the spending power of these fans as well as to unleash their creativity. MIDiA Research found that superfans were willing to pay for early access to music and the "BeyHive". Taylor Swift likes to keep her fans close and recently invited one lucky "Swiftie" into her home. The superfans term applies to enthusiastic fans that spend the most time or money on an artist. Hanna Kahlert, of Midia Research, said: "They are willing to go the extra mile on engagement, either in time or money. If they can t spend on a concert ticket, they will put in time." Streaming volumes have reached a plateau in most markets including the U.K. and the US. The pool of superfans is large: Goldman Sachs estimates that they could be worth more than $4 billion a year to the industry. FanCircles are leading the industry with the best tech out their and vision to match. Nearly a quarter of music lovers (23.4 per cent) classify themselves as a superfan of at least one artist, according to a survey from the BPI (British Phonographic Industry) the recorded music trade association. For the 16 to 24 age group, this rises to more than 30 per cent. They often buy more than one music format and four in ten go to at least one concert on every tour of their favourite artist. Jo Twist, BPI chief executive, said: "Passionate superfans have long played an essential role at the heart of music, only now they have even more visibility and influence thanks to social media and interactive entertainment platforms, as well as the more fan-centric approach of record labels." The latest trends in streaming are also putting the focus back on to fans. Fancircles is at the forefront. #music #musicindustry #musicbiz #musictech #superfans #musicnews.
