A couple of years ago, following its annual tradition of naming a 'person of the year,' Time magazine selected 'You.' The writers believed that with the growing power of individual expression and the media available to voice it, anyone making even the smallest use of this technology was helping to write the future (we're talking about all the bloggers, podcasters, YouTubers, and other such Internet users). It was in anticipation of such a global shift in communications that Dubaians decided to build their own Media City.
True to its name, it's an all inclusive free zone supporting every
conceivable facet of media communications. From creation to hosting,
broadcasting, streaming, production, publishing, support and networking, Dubai
Media City has been designed to fulfill every need of the media industry. Its
cutting-edge infrastructure holds a strategically planned network of fiber optics
that reduces business set up to simply plug n' play. The government of Dubai
has also passed specific legislation to cater licensing and copyright concerns
specific to media entities of all sizes. That means easier access to visas,
full control of foreign ownership and quite literally, a whole city of
networking sources.
Because its main focus is media, Dubai's Media City is also ideal for independent enterprises that may have a hard time finding a competitive advantage in traditional markets. Take music as an example: It is a multibillion dollar industry, but it's amazing how much good talent can slip through the cracks of rigid record company giants. The same can be said about independent film makers who have to battle it out with big-time production studios. A place like Dubai Media City has both the technical and service resources necessary for an impactful start. The mere fact that it also attracts big names in the industry proves that it's also an essential location for expansion.
