Ho Chi Minh– Vietnam’s pay-TV industry has grown by more than 50% from 2006, prompting commendations for the Vietnamese government and pay-TV operators from the Cable & Satellite Broadcasting Association of Asia (CASBAA). At a seminar entitled “Growing Pay-TV in Vietnam: Enhancing Revenues and Protecting Contents”, CASBAA reps praised industry players for their adherence to international standards in protecting Intellectual Property Rights (IPR) for broadcasters. In addition, the association asked for a formally structured, fully licensed and competitive marketplace to be put in place to support the digital infrastructure and to underpin Vietnam’s communications market. Co-organized by CASBAA and the Copyright Office of Vietnam, the seminar on pay-TV services saw 120 officials and industry executives in attendance.
