Hauser to Students: Broadcasting’s Future is Online

OCT. 13, 1999  Gustav Hauser, president and CEO of Hauser Communications, told Adham Center students today that the future of broadcasting lies with satellite-delivered Internet.

Speaking at a seminar for the center’s faculty and students, Hauser predicted that in the not-too-distant future Internet via satellite will be the platform for all broadcasters because of radical reductions in satellite telecommunication costs and rapid improvements in broadband technology.

Hauser played a formative role in the launching of cable television (and what was to become Time-Warner) and in the establishment of MTV and Nickelodeon channels. He discussed the history of these channels, plus the past and future of cable and satellite television, and reviewed technologies just coming to the Middle East, like video on demand and pay per view.
