Who is investing in the metaverse and why

Season 2 · Episode 13

Thursday, May 16, 2024 • Duration 15:03

The metaverse means different things to different people. But to S&P Global Market Intelligence 451 Research analyst Ian Hughes, the metaverse is the long-term vision for the next phase of the internet. It will feature a single shared immersive and persistent 3D virtual space where humans and machines interact with one another and with data. It will not replace the physical world, so much as enhance it. While AI has taken up a great deal of oxygen in the tech investment space, the metaverse cannot be ignored. The first quarter saw a record amount of investment in metaverse technologies. Saudi Arabia is spending $500 billion on a new city that begins with designs in the metaverse. Manufacturers are creating digital twins for new factories. And enterprises are coalescing around the OpenUSD standard, opening the door for a path to true interoperability. Join MediaTalk host Mike Reynolds to learn everything you need to know about the metaverse — in just 15 minutes.

Broadband's growth outlook as subsidy program ends and fiber expands

Season 2 · Episode 12

Thursday, May 9, 2024 • Duration 14:04

In this episode, MediaTalk host Mike Reynolds sits down again with S&P Global Market Intelligence Kagan analyst John Fletcher, who specializes in multichannel and broadband. John shares his outlook on how the broadband industry is set to grow in both the near and distant future. On one hand, funding for a key federal subsidy is set to end this month and legislators have yet to agree on a plan to extend it. As a result, tens of millions of low-income households could once again be priced out of broadband. On the other hand, fixed wireless is continuing to roll out across the country, driving subscriber growth for the broadband industry as a whole. What do both of these things mean for the cable industry? And what do they mean for efforts to close the digital divide? And where do low-earth orbiting satellites fit into all of this? Mike and John dig into these questions and more.
