Speaking at the CCW-SATCON conference in New York today, Capitol Broadcasting’s Jim Goodmon said he believes local broadcasters need to adopt new “geofencing” technology that will prevent OTT viewers from accessing station programming that is not locally produced when they are out of their home market. And he’s working on a solution.
Contending that the FCC’s plan for reclaiming broadcast spectrum will not work, Capitol Broadcasting Jim Goodmon CEO proposed an alternative “overlay” plan under which broadcasters would handle distribution of video when wireless broadband providers can’t handle the traffic volume themselves.
