IAB Issues Broadband Video Commercial Measurement Guidelines for Public Comment

Supports the Aggressive Growth of Broadband

New York, NY (March 21, 2006) The IAB, in conjunction with its Broadband Committee and Measurement Task Force, today announced a call for public comment on a set of Broadband Video Commercial Measurement Guidelines. These guidelines will determine at what point a broadband video commercial is counted. Specifically they address on-line browser or browser-equivalent based Internet activity that involves streaming video and audio advertising content and are principally applicable to Internet media companies and ad-serving organizations.
As broadband proliferates, the interactive industry recognizes the importance of delivering a standardized set of measurement guidelines earlier rather than later so that infrastructure development and business practices can be informed at the earliest stage.

Charter Cable Broadband We applaud the IAB for taking a leadership role in creating Broadband Measurement Guidelines, said Michael Donahue of the AAAAs. These guidelines have been reviewed by the AAAAs Digital Video Innovation, Media Research, and Interactive Marketing and New Media Committees.

Internet Web Hosting The guidelines state that a valid broadband ad impression may only be counted when an ad counter (logging server) receives and responds to an HTTP request for a tracking asset from a client. The count must happen after the initiation of the stream, post-buffering, as opposed to the linked broadband content itself. Specifically, measurement should not occur when the buffer is initiated, rather measurement should occur when the ad itself begins to appear on the users browser, closest to the opportunity to see. A Broadband Video Commercial is defined as a commercial that may appear before, during, and after a variety of content including streaming video, animation, gaming, and music video content in a player environment. This definition includes Broadband Video Commercials that appear in live, archived, and downloadable streaming content.

Broadband providers come under fire for (un)Fair Usage Policies With more than 40% of the UK now signed up to broadband, high speed services with unlimited downloads are becoming increasingly popular. However, customers keen to use their ‰nlimited broadband to download lots of video and music content have been left stunned as suppliers cut down on their bandwidth (speed of broadband) or cut them off completely. Because of small print regarding Rair Usage Policies Internet Service Providers (ISPs) are able to restrict bandwidth, especially during peak times, if customers are deemed to have used their ‰nlimited broadband excessively.

Comcast Cable Broadband With the aggressive growth of broadband, a need for measurement guidelines for video commercials within a broadband content experience became clear, said Greg Stuart, CEO, IAB.
