12.00 - 14.00	ROUND TABLE "Television of the XXI century - developing and competition of traditional broadcasting and innovative services"
Moderator: Yuri Pripachkin, President of Cable TV Association of Russia
The scope of issues includes: Will the broadcasting market change after the transition to a digital environment? Will there be a diminishing of ratings of free-to-air channels with respect to their quality? Will there be a real competition between free-to-air TV and pay TV? Will the availability of a large number of channels be attractive for consumer or will everything be reduced to a limited number of leader-channels? The future of Television – traditional linear broadcasting or interactive TV? How long can Russian free to air channels remain within the existing model of broadcasting? Will there be any differences in the preferences of TV subscribers and Internet users regarding video content? Will the Internet remain just a tool of the time-shifting or will it become the primary medium of television broadcasting? What role does the quality of the TV picture play? Will there be the total transition to HDTV in the nearest future and what is the place and role of Ultra HD TV?
