The session addressed key topics such as content licensing, advertising models, and editing practices for airlines. Rich Salter, board member of WAEA, organized a steering committee to discuss these pressing issues, with ongoing collaboration among content and service providers. A future workshop is anticipated to further explore these challenges facing the satellite TV industry.
