There’s a reason why the networks have so many channels, have excellent content that people want to see. Enterprise models probably will remain a challenge, which is probably why YouTube has become the initial portal in addition to the television which is investing heavily to produce content. This year we hope to enjoy much far more variety in terms of quality content that we see online.

The measurement on television and online video is still not good enough, but there is usually a growing consensus to change this. After the contest organized this year by the Association for Research in Mass Communication (AIMC) and the Interactive Advertising and marketing Bureau (IAB), the U.S. firm ComScore has been chosen to create a digital measurement system that serves as a model for marketing and advertising sales within the Spanish market. This platform will begin testing in 2012 and the issue will certainly give a lot of talk over the next year. Your time has come (or so I hope!).
