1) The document discusses three main themes: cyber security, the internet of things, and the changing world of TV.
2) Regarding cyber security, the internet was not designed with security in mind and it is easy for hackers to carry out automated attacks. However, New Zealand has an opportunity to lead in improving cyber security.
3) The internet of things is predicted to include 30-50 billion connected devices by 2020, generating trillions in economic benefits. Multiple companies are competing across devices, connectivity, data, and analytics.
4) Streaming TV is growing in popularity but traditional broadcasting still delivers big live events. Content remains most important, and both old and new delivery models are evolving to meet changing

3. THREE BIG THEMES
Cyber Security
Internet of Things
Changing world of TV

5. THE INTERNET ISN’T DESIGNED TO BE SAFE
Cyber Security is a big ‘thing’ to all of us
– We know there are risks
– We know it requires our attention
– We don’t know what to do
The internet isn’t secure by design
– Meant to be open and accessible
– There are ’super-highway robbers’ in our digital world
– Unlike the robbers of the past, it’s anonymous, highly profitable and legally dubious – with
few repercussions

6. AUTOMATED & EASY
It’s easy to be a bad guy
– Off the shelf tools
– Managed hacking services
– Automated attacks
– Crytowall, Cryptolocker, Carbanak
Endless examples
– Hospital in LA held ransom for $3m - crytolocker
– Massachusetts Police dept

7. THE BACKDOOR
Post Paris attacks – renewed push for backdoors by US & UK
– Apple last week
– Rules don’t apply to the bad guys
– Economic, national security & privacy need to be protected

8. NZ – A CYBER PARADISE
NZ Governments cyber security strategy
Growing awareness among business community
We’re small enough to get it right and lead
Making the internet a safer place to be will have massive benefits for those who get it right.

10. WHAT IS IOT?
10
Collection, exchange and control of information without direct human intervention
Is it the next industrial revolution?
The applications for it are really only limited by the imagination
Fusion of digital and biological worlds
Includes devices, vehicles, buildings and animals
11. BY 2020 – SOME VERY BIG NUMBERS
11
30 to 50 billion objects
$1 to $6 trillion global benefit
15% to 20% compounding annual growth rate (CAGR)
7 connected ”things” per person
12. WHICH CONNECTION FITS BEST
12
Cellular networks
– Incumbent solution with large GPRS install base e.g. vending machines and
passenger information systems. Ideally suited for large bandwidth applications,
although new low bandwidth solution being progressed (LTE-M)
Short range networks (WiFi, Bluetooth, Zigbee):
– Primarily consumer based solution which massive market growth e.g. home
automation
Low Power WAN (LoRa, SigFox):
– New entrants targeting currently uneconomic use cases requiring battery powered
applications e.g. asset tracking, smart meters and industrial equipment
13. MULTIPLE BATTLEGROUNDS
13
VHS versus BETA
Giants and start-ups positioning for potential windfall
Battle across the ecosystem
– Devices
– Connectivity
– User management systems
– Big data and analytics
15. STREAMING TV
15
Technology convergence is not equal to content access convergence
– Over the last 3 years premier league football in NZ has gone from SKY to Coliseum to
Lightbox Sport to Bein (Al Jazeera)
– In the UK premier league football has gone from BSkyB to BT
Piracy fading out as Netflix etc gain in popularity
Changing business models of broadcasters
– Free to air television evolving with video on demand as IP catch-up TV
– New Sky NZ set-top box
– BSkyB SkyQ
– Freeview Plus
16. STREAMING VS TRADITIONAL BROADCASTING
16
It’s not a zero sum game
– Old business models are evolving
– IP delivery ideal for on-demand and catch-up TV
– Broadcast delivers multi-cast scalability for big, live events
Superbowl
– An average of 1.4 million people streamed the game per minute
– 111m broadcast watchers
– Record streaming numbers were only 1.3% of total audience!
Poor Kayne!
– Tidal streaming crashed at album release time
17. THE FUTURE
17
Content remains King
Highest value content is live sports and live events (Academy Awards, Grammys)
More quality content in more places
Adaptation is necessary. It is about the experience not the delivery mechanism.
