I’m of the belief that participants in the TMT industry need to read widely in order to understand the present and future dynamics of the market.

And 4K is nearly here. The audience will definitely like that. Oh yes!  http://www.upi.com/Science_News/Technology/2013/07/05/BBC-announces-decision-to-halt-3D-television-programming/UPI-41911373064121/ If you were somehow watching the Wimbledon tennis championships on 4K you could also enjoy adverts placed onto nails, water bottles etc... in real time. Fascinating. Pointless. It's tech!  http://metro.co.uk/2013/07/04/video-wimbledon-allows-adverts-on-nails-as-sony-showcases-4k-ultra-hd-3869279/
