He [Peterson] noted there are many problems with the way content providers operate. These include an inability to identify and optimize rights, an inability for rights holders to maintain serviceable master packages, a lack of supply chain standards, a lack of a global local language for exhibition, a lack of exhibition of standards and lack of ease of use of content.
