Why DID WE CHOOSE THIS TOPIC FOR THIS YEAR'S EVENT?
The rapid adoption of new technologies in the home, driven by operators (broadband/television) and platform vendors in both the consumer electronics and home computing worlds, has transformed the home entertainment experience. These evolving and converging technologies are rapidly redefining entertainment platforms and services, including home audio, gaming, video content, digital imaging, and broadcast and cable television services.

In addition, these trends are impacting the business models of traditional ad-supported broadcast networks, movie theaters, and even the neighborhood video rental store.

The rate of diffusion, particularly for music and TV products, will only quicken between 2005 and 2008 as people begin replacing older televisions and music systems with more capable and Internet-ready music systems and HDTVs. PVRs, after a slow start, are now offered by service providers, with adoption moving beyond the earliest markets, in PVR households, TV viewing habits change quite quickly. Meanwhile, more and more households have multiple PCs and increasingly use one or more of their computers for some entertainment purpose.

Beyond content protection, questions about revenue models and accurate forecasting of content sales, advertising models, and more.

Join us in November to further explore these markets - media personalization and meaningful content delivery in digital entertainment.
