You knew it was inevitable that the gap between the Internet and TV would end. Now your subscribers are purchasing Connected or Smart TVs, allowing them to access the Internet and download apps as easily as they do for their smart phones and computers. But what does this mean for your business?

Will Connected TVs hurt or help your business? What steps can you take now to make sure you profit from the bevy of smart TV apps that are likely to flood the market soon? Will Connected TVs increase or decrease cord cutting? Can programmers and operators learn from what's happening in the smart phone and iPAD markets and cash in on the apps craze? Or will apps developers be the only ones to profit?

At this information-packed Webinar you'll learn:

• What are the new apps and what do they mean for your business?
• What will the new business models look like?
• Can programmers enhance the viewer experience and make profits with Connected TV apps?
• How you can exploit Connected TV's consumer-reach capabilities to augment customer experience, your brand and profits?
