King, who participated in a panel discussion about the topic during the Media360Asia conference (see the March issue for details), sat down to talk with Campaign Asia-Pacific about what he sees as the true reason for ongoing commoditisation, as well as his belief that its days are numbered. 

King also rejects a suggestion of a drop in quality due to pricing pressure, and shares his opinions on the structural changes effecting the media business.
