SERVING THE INDUSTRY
The AIB works to represent
members and, where necessary and
appropriate, lobbies on their behalf.
We have worked on issues such as
the jamming of international
satellite radio and TV services in
Africa and pay-TV regulations in
Vietnam.
We work to raise awareness of
issues and to lobby for change
when this is needed by the
international media industry. With
an extensive range of influential
contacts in parliaments and
regulatory authorities in many
markets, the AIB is well placed to
negotiate on behalf of its members.
In other highly relevant work,
the AIB is helping members deal
with the complex issues
surrounding cyber security, which
is an area of major concern for
broadcasters.
