IFTA Mobile Video Licensing Guidelines

The Independent Film & Television Alliance has mailed out more than 1,500 copies of its guidelines on licensing for wireless transmission of content to mobile handheld devices, according to IFTA president and CEO Jean Prewitt.

Prewitt said the guidance was a must for her myriad members -- sellers doing business in the international marketplace. "European buyers started leaning on people to ask for these rights just after the end of (last year's) American Film Market," Prewitt said in an interview. "The guidelines try to outline how to do business for what are generally considered to be market-recognized technology."

The Independent Film & Television Alliance was established in 1980 as the American Film Marketing Association. Its first members were a group of distributors and sales agents whose main goal was to expand the independent film business by creating a world-class trade show, the American Film Market (AFM).

Today, the association has evolved into the trade association for the independent film and television industry worldwide, while the AFM concurrently has become the largest international film market in the world.

AI-Driven Data Center Liquid Cooling Demand

The rapid evolution of artificial intelligence (AI) and hyperscale cloud computing is fundamentally reshaping data center infrastructure, and liquid cooling is emerging as an indispensable solution. As traditional air-cooled systems reach their physical limits, the IT industry is under pressure to adopt more efficient thermal management strategies to meet growing demands, while complying with stringent environmental regulations. Liquid Cooling Market Development The latest ABI Research analysis reveals momentum in liquid cooling adoption. Installations are forecast to quadruple between 2023 and 2030. The market will reach $3.7 billion in value by the decade's end, with a CAGR of 22 percent. The urgency behind these numbers becomes clear when examining energy metrics: liquid cooling systems demonstrate 40 percent greater energy efficiency when compared to conventional air-cooling architectures, while simultaneously enabling ~300-500 percent increases in computational density per rac...
