Klaus Pilz - Senior Business Development & Project Manager, Swisscom Broadcast AG
Since the beginning of 2009 Klaus Pilz has been focusing on implementing a new product line for IP based
TV / radio as well as VoD services at Swisscom Broadcast. With the expansion of its broadcast service port-folio, Swisscom Broadcast aims for fulfilling the rapidly growing demand of TV/radio broadcasting signals as well as VoD for Mobile/Web TV and IP TV:
The core product thereof is the "TV / radio Capturing Service". Without having to invest large amounts in receiving and encoding/transcoding equipment, service providers can order the needed TV / radio signals with Swisscom Broadcast at reasonable monthly costs. The signals will be suitably prepared for IP based services, in accordance with the formats set by the customer.
Furthermore, a multi-tenant wholesale product "Web-/ Mobile TV end to end platform including VoD and advertisement insertion options" is a proper solution to set up a state of the art Mobile / WEB TV service for all types of service providers. The pricing model is attractive and allows implementing any proven business models, as virtually all market-tested models can be realized with the offered E2E platform.
Mr. Pilz has taken on responsibility for this challenging product development based on his proven track record in the areas of business development and successful business restructurings since 1984. Amongst others, he was responsible for launching the first private mobile operators in Austria "max.mobil." as Chief Fi-nance Officer and in Croatia "Vipnet" as Chief Marketing & Sales Officer (the most successful launch of mobile operator in Eastern Europe); furthermore he was CTO of Antenna Hungaria while Swisscom was a successful investor. Last but not least Mr. Pilz has well acknowledged experience in developing DVB-C/T/H as well as IPTV- and Internet service developments.
