“New screens for sport”
A panel will focus on the multiple screens offered to sports broadcasting by television and new technologies today: mobile phones, Internet and digital radio sets. Experts will discuss the various issues raised by this market evolution as well as the possible revolution in the exploitation of sporting pictures.
Tuesday, October 25, 2005 at 10am:
“The influence of television on sport: rules and refereeing"
Dr. Jacques Rogge, president of the IOC, will invite all participants to an open discussion with sports leaders and broadcasters on how joint decisions can benefit sports disciplines by helping them to improve their format, regulations, the organisation of events, and broadcasting. Refereeing, a controversial issue among TV viewers, will also be part of this debate.
