    Jean-Marie Messier

    Jean-Marie Messier, chairman and CEO of beleaguered French media major Vivendi Universal, has agreed to quit after the company‘s board members withdrew support to him, reports say.

    The first indication that Messier had indeed thrown in the towel was provided by French newspaper Le Monde which reported in today‘s edition that Messier had agreed to resign. This ends a week-long effort by Messier to cling onto his post in the face of growing pressure to step down over mounting debts and a share price that has fallen 64 per cent since the turn of the year.

    The eighth Asian International Broadcast and Multimedia Technology Exhibition and Conference, BroadcastAsia2002 that took place in Singapore from 18 to 21 June saw only a marginal increase in the number of visitors this year. The reason - World Cup soccer, of course.

    An official release says that of the 10,951 attendees this year, there was a significant increase in the number that came in from India, Indonesia, Thailand, Korea, Japan and China. Group delegations for the event rose from five in 2001 to a record 16 this year, says the release.

    The event played host to a world-class conference, a conference networking session, a CEO roundtable, facility tours and even a computer animation and digital art contest. Held in conjunction with CommuncAsia2002, the two events raked in nearly 50,000 trade visitors. The BroadcastAsia2002 International Conference that kicked off a day earlier, on 17 June, had a new focus that appealed not only to engineers but also to those involved in the strategic and policy aspects of media business, says the release.

    Themed Worldcasting, the BroadcastAsia International Conference cast a wide net indeed in presenting 13 various sessions over five days - ranging from traditional engineering topics to new technologies and strategic business issues. Held alongside were two ComGraphics and Animation workshops and an audio technology seminar.
