Wavefront TV’s take on last week:
This is a very dynamic sector, and while that may feel like a safe harbor statement, it was on full display last week. There were heavyweights battling it out, new platforms announced, device wars heating up, and it means a continuing scramble for content companies trying to find their footing in this growing ecosystem. In a completely distributed model, publishers are vulnerable to these changes in a way that unfortunately is somewhat reminiscent of the role that social media platforms have come to play in the digital world.
