The report makes great reading. Interesting how the whole licensing concept will have to be tackled by many publishers now... What do you think?
Jonathan commented on 09-Jul-2010 03:34 AM
Interesting comment from the report: "Reduced spending and fast-moving structural changes are driving the industry to focus on streamlining content production and delivery that meets the needs of users." At our publishing house, we're reviewing how a centralised content production team will work... hmm assuring that the report picked this trend up too.
