Part 2 It's always a great pleasure to be in Holland where people are usually very open to Change and... where 88.4% of the population is online ;) I was invited by the Dutch Broadcasting Organization (OMROEP) to speak about The End of Control, the People formerly known as Consumers and the Future of Broadcasting (Radio and TV), at their annual gathering and conference, NPOX. There are 3 parts to this video. The PDF is here. More details at my blog.
