The challenge is to create business models and relationships that take advantage of this opportunity. We\u2019re going to bring people together, to find answers to the questions presented by this, the next step in the digital revolution for media.\u201d<\/p>\n Speaking of the choice of Sao Paulo and Dubai as venues for IBC Content Everywhere, Michael Crimp went on to say: \u201cLatin America and the Middle East combine massive penetration and use of mobile technology, particularly for video and social media, with a thriving economy. For instance, Brazil – host of the 2016 Olympics – is the seventh largest internet audience in the world. The Middle East has over 284 million mobile users, with a market increasing at twice the speed of both Western Europe and North America combined. These are hotspots of real growth\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0},"categories":[3],"tags":[72,125,127,180,187],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/voped.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1664"}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/voped.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/voped.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/voped.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/voped.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1664"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"http:\/\/voped.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1664\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2094,"href":"http:\/\/voped.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1664\/revisions\/2094"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/voped.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1664"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/voped.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1664"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/voped.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1664"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
