In Australia, internet television has become a popular medium for distributing movies and TV content. Major free-to-air networks offer catch-up TV services, allowing viewers to access a wide range of domestic and international content. Internet television allows users to watch content on-demand, either through downloads or streaming. ISPs in Australia often meter video downloads, imposing quotas on subscribers. The country has seen a rise in over-the-top (OTT) content delivery, with platforms like National Geographic partnering with local providers to offer unique viewing experiences (Page 2).
China's television industry is rapidly evolving to adapt to the digital media landscape. Events like MIP China Hangzhou serve as platforms for international and Chinese production companies to collaborate and explore co-production opportunities. Tencent, a leading Chinese company, has embraced LiveU's portable transmission technology for live streaming innovative reality series. The Chinese television market continues to grow and innovate, with a focus on creating engaging content for a diverse audience (Page 3).
