Keynote
IPTV – The Future of Television
Peter Barrett
Chief Technology Officer and General Manager of
Engineering
Microsoft TV Group
It’s an exciting time for TV. Over the past 10-15 years, there
have been some significant advances that enhance our enjoyment
of TV – such as digital cable and satellite with more
programming options. Digital video recording and VOD give
consumers more flexibility in when and what they watch. And HDTV
makes sure that content comes through with lifelike picture and
sound. But the Internet and Internet Protocol (IP) technology
will spark more revolutionary change for TV in the next five
years than we’ve seen in the previous 50 combined. Mr. Barrett
will explain how IPTV will transform the TV user experience, as
well as the business models that support it.

Emerging Digital Entertainment Opportunities
The emergence of broadband capacity, new devices, and home
systems that distribute content throughout the home have
expanded opportunities and content options. With these
opportunities come challenges ranging from protecting artists'
and studio rights to developing consumer awareness and
understanding of the value of new services, new products, and
new habits.
In this session, leaders from CE, the studios, and technology
address the opportunities and the challenges in identifying
short-term opportunities as well as roadmaps to longer term
strategies.

 Digital Home Services: Framing the New Opportunities
Allen Delattre
Global Managing Director
Electronics & High Tech Industry Practice
Accenture
Today’s increasingly digital homes open vast
possibilities for new consumer solutions. Manufacturers,
broadband providers, and retailers are racing to capitalize.
But how will growth opportunities be affected
by the changing attitudes of consumers? Accenture will share
findings from a global survey that not only uncovers emerging
consumer needs but suggests new ways to deliver the most
valuable solutions.

9:15 a.m.
Exhibit Halls A-2 & A-3
Extending the Value of Networks to New
Applications
Entertainment draws our passion, but increasingly, home
management and distribution go hand and hand with entertainment
opportunities. This session addresses distribution and control
of the newly arriving content sources and options. Where does
content arrive in the home and how does it move from device to
device and room to room? In addition, what are the opportunities
to better control some of our traditional home systems, such as
lighting and even energy.
Are the opportunities linked? Does the provider of
entertainment become a source for home controls? Will “turning
on the TV” migrate from just choosing content to choosing
content and setting the room for optimal viewing and comfort?
Join leaders explaining their take on the market, its timing,
and perspectives on all the areas to be affected by changing
communications and content options.

 Digital
Technology, Content & Consumers – Connecting the Dots
Gary
Shapiro
President and CEO
Consumer Electronics Association (CEA®)
Consumers are gobbling up consumer electronics products today
to the tune of $125 billion as new digital products alter the
way consumers experience movies, television programs, music and
other digital content. As the 2006 International CES
demonstrated, technology and content companies are responding to
consumers’ voracious appetite for all things digital, announcing
deals right and left for new content and delivery services. But
even as the ink is drying, an age-old debate lingers about the
balance between consumers’ home recording and fair use rights
and the content community’s intellectual property rights. CEA
President and CEO
Gary
Shapiro will connect the dots between digital
technology, content and consumers, providing an industry roadmap
for continued prosperity.

IPTV: Growth and Services
The press, financial institutions, and the communications
industries buzz with discussions of the promise of IPTV. Exactly
how will this play out? Will consumers want entertainment from
telco and other broadband providers not traditionally viewed as
entertainment companies? How long will this category of services
take to emerge? What are keys to its success? Will costs to
consumer remain stable, decline, or even increase if bundles
touch a critical mass of consumer desires?
Leaders in IPTV will address the promise of this new service
areas, timelines, and strategies.
