Peyton Lombardo of 3Vision presented at Content Warsaw, discussing the growth of free ad-supported streaming television (FAST) in Central and Eastern Europe (CEE). Although the region is behind in FAST development, Poland shows promise, with international platforms like Rakuten TV and local broadcasters like TVN leading the way. Rakuten TV offers 73 FAST channels in Poland, with 7 localized in Polish. The platform's content lineup has shifted towards more local content, from 5% in April 2024 to 10% in April 2025. TVN Player, a broadcaster-led FAST platform, offers a variety of genre-based channels, with 77% unscripted and 23% scripted content. The global FAST channel ecosystem is dominated by the US, but CEE countries are starting to grow, with Poland having 96 unique FAST channels. Monetization strategies within FAST platforms include licensing content to aggregators, launching a FAST channel with a platform, and launching your own FAST channel. Local partnerships are crucial, as seen in Rakuten's success in Poland, which has depended on alignment with local aggregators and rights holders. Despite structural challenges, such as underdeveloped ad-tech infrastructure and limited broadband and smart TV penetration, 3Vision forecasts strong growth potential in the CEE region. The region is expected to have AVoD revenues of $1.1 billion in 2025, rising to $1.86 billion by 2029, with the FAST contribution increasing from $176 million to $379 million. The mobile-first nature of media consumption in the region aligns well with FAST platforms, and stakeholders are urged to invest in local content, strengthen ad delivery infrastructure, and form strategic distribution partnerships to capitalize on the opportunity.

India's real-money gaming landscape is under scrutiny, particularly opinion trading apps. These platforms, like SportsBaazi and Probo, allow users to bet on future events, but their operations have been terminated in some states due to regulatory concerns. Petitions have been filed in several high courts, arguing that opinion trading is a game of chance, not skill, and violates the Public Gambling Act 1867. The courts have issued notices to the Union Government and state governments, seeking their responses. The legal status of opinion trading apps remains ambiguous, with the Advertising Standards Council of India noting the need for clarity. Globally, opinion trading is regulated differently, with some countries classifying it as a financial instrument, while others consider it gambling.

A US trade court has ruled that President Donald Trump's tariff policies are illegal, but the possibility of price hikes remains. Despite this, prices for key products have been mostly stable, except for a $100 price increase for the Xbox Series X. The court ruled that Trump overstepped his authority and that Congress has the primary power to impose tariffs. The Trump administration has appealed the decision, and the Supreme Court will make a final ruling. In the meantime, prices for various products, including iPhones, 4K TVs, Xbox consoles, and coffee, are being monitored. Some products, such as the iPhone, are susceptible to tariffs due to overseas production, while others, like Samsung TVs, may be less affected. The prices of these products will be updated regularly to reflect any changes. The tariffs have already led to price increases for some products, such as the Xbox Series X and HP printer ink. Other products, like Anker portable chargers and Bose soundbars, have remained steady in price but are currently on sale. The impact of the tariffs on prices will continue to be monitored, and updates will be provided as necessary. It's essential to note that the tariffs may lead to price hikes for various products, and consumers should be prepared for potential changes.
