A Complete Rewrite in Video Entertainment: New Media -- New Competition Dear
Neil,
Announcing the panelists for the upcoming MIT Enterprise Forum.
A Complete Rewrite in Video Entertainment Video entertainment used to be
straightforward – studios produced content, and theaters and TV networks
distributed it for immediate consumption. Consumers’ options were limited. But
consumers have been seeking more choices, and the industry has gotten more
complicated – cable and satellite TV with hundreds of channels, pre-recorded
videotape and DVD rentals, pay-per-view, and DVD sales. But that’s only been
the warm-up act!
A number of emerging technologies have the potential to rewrite the rules of
the video entertainment industry – video downloading over the Internet to
laptops and video iPods, mobile TV to cellphones, and streaming IP-TV to your
multimedia broadband-connected PC.
Come hear our panel of industry insiders debate the future of video
entertainment. Is there really a 3G TV market? Will Nokia really end up
competing with Tivo?
Yoram Solomon, Director-Strategic Marketing, Texas Instruments, will speak
about delivering video over advanced cellular networks; Michael Jenkins, CEO,
NextShow, will speak about delivering entertainment over the Internet; Trayc
McKissic, Lead Instructor, Art Institute of Dallas, will speak about creating
content for new media formats.
Our panel will be moderated by Steve Thrasher, a local attorney specializing
in intellectual property issues.
