This episode features representatives of three French companies discussing how they are addressing the challenges of doing business in the US in the midst of the Coronavirus pandemic: Guillaume Bonnard, VP of Global Sales and Services at Thomson Broadcast (thomsonbroadcast.tv); Bruno Tariant, Head of Sales for the Americas at ENENSYS (enensys.com); and Mikael Raulet, VP of Innovation at ATEME (ateme.com).
Among other things, they describe how the pandemic is impacting broadcasters in the US and delaying the implementation of ATSC 3.0; address concerns that the pandemic could result in the US adopting a less globalist and more nativist attitude to manufacturing and business in general; discuss how their companies are nevertheless continuing to build out their US presence; and cast light on how those companies are innovating during this “moment of pause.”
