FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Participants Agree to Define Future Needs, Seek Unification of Various Standards, and Promote Technology Sharing
SHANGHAI, Nov. 11, 2011 – Television broadcasting executives, technologists and engineers gathering this week in China agreed that a global approach to the future of terrestrial TV broadcasting is the ideal method to avoid competing standards, overlap, and inefficient deployment of new services.
At 11:11 a.m. local time on 11/11/11, more than 200 delegates to the Future of Broadcast Television Summit officially expressed unified support for a joint declaration signed by technical executives from 13 broadcast organizations from around the world that calls for global cooperation to define new requirements, unify various standards, and promote sharing of technologies to benefit developed and under-developed countries and conserve resources.
A common theme throughout the summit was that broadcasting – the transmission of information to an unlimited number of listeners and viewers – is the most spectrum-efficient means for wireless delivery of popular real-time and file-based content. The signatories of the declaration believe that the broadcasting and TV industries will continue to evolve and play a critical role in bringing both information and entertainment to everyone.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Goals of Global Cooperation Dovetail with ATSC 3.0 Standardization
WASHINGTON, Nov. 11, 2011 – The Advanced Television Systems Committee (ATSC) today endorsed the global declaration signed in China at the conclusion of the Future of Broadcast TV Summit, calling for the world’s TV broadcast technologists to work together on future improvements for broadcast TV. The Shanghai declaration calls for a global, coordinated effort to develop terrestrial TV broadcasting technology, moving ahead of past efforts that have resulted in fragmented systems and increased cost for broadcasters, equipment makers, and viewers.
"The conclusion of the Future of Broadcast Television Summit brings into focus the very real needs that broadcasters face as future technologies are primed for over-the-air transmission. It makes sense to work together -- to conserve scarce resources, to speed new developments to the market and to take advantages of economies of scale wherever possible," said ATSC President Mark Richer, co-chair of the summit. “The true benefit of this week’s conference will be seen and felt by viewers throughout the world, as the signatory organizations and others work together for the greater good.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Long-Term Project Designed to Develop TV Standards Serving Viewers and Broadcasters for Decades to Come
WASHINGTON, Sept. 6, 2011 --The Advanced Television Systems Committee Inc. (ATSC) has formed a new technology group to develop "ATSC 3.0," a series of voluntary technical standards and recommended practices for the next-generation digital terrestrial television broadcast system that would serve viewers and TV stations for decades to come.
"ATSC 3.0 is a crucial long-term project that paves the way for futuristic terrestrial television broadcasting technologies," said ATSC President Mark Richer. "As we look to the horizon, the ATSC will be exploring technologies that perhaps haven’t even been invented yet."
Because ATSC 3.0 is likely to be incompatible with current broadcast systems, it must provide improvements in performance, functionality and efficiency significant enough to warrant implementation of a non-backwards-compatible system, according Richer. Interoperability with production systems and non-broadcast distribution systems should be considered by the new technology group, he explained.

International Collaboration Organizes Historic Event
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
SHANGHAI and WASHINGTON, August 16, 2011 – Leading broadcast television associations, research laboratories and standards development organizations* from around the world have organized a strategic conference focused on the future of terrestrial broadcast television. The Future of Broadcast Television (FOBTV) Summit will be held to foster global collaboration to exchange technical advances in the rapidly converging areas of terrestrial broadcasting, consumer electronics and networking technologies, discussions that that may lead to the development of common strategies for the future of terrestrial broadcasting.
Industry technology leaders are to be invited to work together to share their visions of the future of broadcasting. Bringing together the collective perspectives of experts worldwide should benefit industry leaders as they identify their optimum national path for terrestrial broadcasting. "I believe that we are entering a Renaissance period for terrestrial broadcasting" said Mark Richer, President of the Advanced Television Systems Committee and Co‐chair of the FOBTV Organizing Committee. "The FOBTV Summit will bring together experts from around the world to discuss the strategic direction of our industry."
