Description
The rapid evolution of ICTs has significantly impacted various sectors, including the audiovisual industry. The rise and expansion of streaming and Video-on-Demand (VoD) services challenge traditional content distribution models, influencing competition, copyright, cultural access, and support for national productions. This Lightning Talk will bring together key stakeholders to discuss the challenges and opportunities of regulating streaming services in Brazil. The session will explore how regulation affects the audiovisual sector and its intersection with the architecture, use, principles, and governance of the Internet. By analyzing the role of Over-the-Top (OTT) platforms in the digital transformation of the industry, the discussion aims to foster a broader understanding of the Brazilian regulatory landscape and possible pathways forward.
