 eMarketer: Bandwidth Could Curb Web Video AdsNov 19, 2008  The current increase of high-quality, long-form video content (TV shows and full-length movies) -- the type of high-bandwidth content necessary for substantial online video ad growth -- would hit major roadblocks under changed ISP service plans. Several ISPs are looking to limit their customers' bandwidth usage. The problem could spill over to online video and its associated advertising. At stake is the U.S. online video ad spending market, which is expected to nearly quadruple from $505 million this year to $1.9 billion in 2011, and will triple again two years later to $5.8 billion, according to eMarketer. If people need to pay extra for additional bandwidth or are threatened with slower service, many will have qualms about watching too much free video with advertising alongside. eMarketer: Bandwidth Could Curb Web Video AdsNov 19, 2008

Diversity Study Takes Ad Biz to Task
January 08, 2009
NEW YORK African Americans in the advertising industry are significantly underrepresented and underpaid compared to their white counterparts, in part due to a "culture in which deeply-embedded racial bias, both conscious and unconscious, creates systematic barriers to inclusion" for black employees, according to a new study commissioned by civil rights law firm Mehri & Skalet. The study, "Research Perspective on Race and Employment in the Advertising Industry," was released today. It cites employment and salary statistics and compares them to similar industries in an effort to illuminate the disparities between black and white professionals in the $31 billion ad industry.
