1) The document discusses several myths about connected consumer electronics, pay-TV churn, cloud computing, search capabilities, and demand for value-added services.
2) Data is presented showing that while connected devices are common, they do not necessarily lead to high rates of pay-TV cancellation. Consumer demand for new TV features is also fragmented across many options.
3) The cloud is perceived as having value when it enables lifestyle syncing, backup/sharing, and remote access applications rather than being too complex. Improving search and discovery of content is also still needed according to surveys.
This document discusses strategies for cloud-based value-added services that can help broadband and pay TV providers increase average revenue per user (ARPU). It notes trends in evolving from a focus on customer acquisition to retention and from linear to on-demand content. The document examines opportunities for home automation/security, health, and convergence services and the challenges involved. It also addresses strategies for pricing value-added services for free or based on fees.

Brett Sappington presented on the impact of over-the-top (OTT) video services. He discussed how OTT services are capitalizing on sub-optimal pay TV and availability/portability of content. This is resulting in the polarization of operators into premium and basic service providers. Premium providers emphasize high quality and convenience while facing higher costs. Basic providers cater to price-sensitive customers with lower risks and costs but also lower revenue. Sappington notes that for long term viability, OTT services need to be profitable, premium providers require premium support, and basic providers should find ways to differentiate.

The second Tuesday in June recognizes National Forklift Safety Day. Today's National Day provides opportunities for manufacturing, warehouses, logistics, and other industries that rely on forklifts to reassess their forklift training and safety guidelines.
Forklifts are an integral part of industry and commerce around the world. The operators who move products from the warehouse to trucks to the loading dock keep goods moving across the country. Without forklift operators, much of the work needed to move pallets of parts, finished products, and food would be time-consuming and extremely dangerous. Luckily, forklifts do the heavy lifting. But with that heavy lifting, the importance of using safety becomes paramount.
Every industry that uses forklifts is encouraged to take part in National Forklift Safety Day. Whether they host seminars or provide opportunities for their operators to recertify and attend seminars, this day is about ensuring a safe and efficient atmosphere. There are several ways to participate across the country:
Review your training schedules and protocols for forklift drivers.
Ensure all operators are current in their training certifications.
Review and update equipment safety check guidelines.
Trainers, maintain your training, too. Operators should be learning from trainers who have the most current knowledge and understanding of a company's protocols.
Attend webinars that share the latest in safety equipment and standards.
Share your events and experiences by using #ForkliftSafetyDay on social media.
In 2014, the Industrial Truck Association founded National Forklift Safety Day to highlight the safe use of forklifts and serve as an annual reminder of the value of training and equipment checks in every industry that relies on forklifts.

油
How to build your B2B PR profile rapidly.
Some businesses not many but a few, grow their businesses without publicity. But then moment comes when PR is essential. Independent media agency MNC was silent for thirty years then achieved 20+ media articles in four months how?
Our mission
Our B2B PR agency brief was to announce and promote MNCs positioning and support business growth. To do this we needed to achieve an initial burst of exposure and then keep that coming across a range of media including critically vertical trades.
When a business has zero media profile and no relationships with the press the challenge boils down to credibility as one journalist put it why should we write about an agency nobody has heard of?
Heres how:
We identified a series of initial messages that were genuinely topical and credible for MNC to own.
- Indie agencies Vs. Holdcos
- The fusion of media and venture funding
- Marketing shibboleths that need a rethink
- Why indies will win talent
We pitched creatively to media, mixing topicality, trend analysis and humanising complex issues.
We built relationships using podcasts and other media formats to build a dialogue between MNCs talented team and journalists.
We looked at what MNCs prospects were interested in and converted POVs to work in vertical media.
We became an extension of their team their wins are ours.
We pushed hard and kept momentum going creating a full pipeline of content to leverage.
Results
The initial outcomes
- Growth in new prospect opportunities
- Supporting client conversions
- Massive up-tick in social exposure and audience reach
- All media targets reached vertical out-reach growing

Monetizing AI APIs: The New API Economy EmergesAllan Knabe
油
Presented by Allan Knabe, CEO of Apiable.io
As AI continues its march from novelty to necessity, the business models powering its ecosystem are starting to matter as much as the models themselves. This talk dives into how AI APIs especially those built on foundation models like OpenAI can be packaged, priced, and monetized effectively for B2B and B2B2B use cases.
Well explore where value accrues across the stackfrom infrastructure to models to applicationsand how developers and API providers can carve out a sustainable business in the middle layers. Youll get a breakdown of the emerging monetization patterns, including usage-based pricing, token-based metering, and credit wallet systems, as well as the hidden pitfalls of bundling APIs into high-tier plans without clear usage tracking.
Drawing on real-world examples and customer implementations, this session will unpack:
Why most AI apps are still using outdated pricing models
How to think about tokens, jobs, and digital workers as billing units
The practical mechanics of API monetization via gateways, portals, and billing tools like Stripe
Why giving customers your raw OpenAI API key is a terrible idea, and how to fix it
Whether you're building a SaaS product powered by AI, running a developer platform, or exploring API-first strategies for generative agents, this talk will help you move from experimental to executable.
