An international billion-dollar industry is springing up around this market opportunity with its own players, terminology and conventions. aka.tv and its sister company, The Screen Forum are plotting a path through this rapidly expanding industry by providing strategic business intelligence and market context for network owners, service providers, ad agencies, consultants, investors: in fact, a whole spectrum of professionals engaged in this dynamic sector.

The subscriber base is made up of key decision-makers, including CEOs, MDs, company presidents, and marketing managers from a variety of sectors including network operators, advertising agencies, retailers, and technology providers.
This pedigree continues to influence aka.tv's editorial coverage, ensuring a comprehensive online resource with a uniquely international footprint.
aka.tv's reporting is unique in two respects: its draws on a wealth of industry experience to comment on every report it publishes, and its reach is truly international, with on-the-ground editorial input from the U.S., Europe, and the Asia-Pacific region.
The Screen Forum is engaged in bringing the best brains in the sector face-to-face with advertisers and investors to focus on the business strategies that drive the adoption of these networks.
