Mobile
TV and Video: Promise and Pitfalls
Mobile
TV and video could transform the way consumers use their
cell phones as re-purposed TV shows and made-for-mobile
programming hit cell phones. We explore currently available
video-on-demand and live TV offerings as well as new
technologies championed by QUALCOMM's MediaFlo and Modeo
(formerly Crown Castle). Are the phones and networks
up to the task? What mobile video content will consumers
demand and how will it be monetized? And will enough
consumers come on board to justify the investments?

Marketing for Consumer Brands
Mobile
marketing campaigns thus far have included trailers
for "March of the Penguins," mobile coupons
for McDonald's McFlurries, a mobile store front for
Public Enemy and short codes positioned next to URLs
on Disney's movie posters. A look at how leading marketers
are grabbing consumers' interest -- without spamming
them.

3:10-4:00: Making Money from Content
Video, full-track music downloads, ringbacks, images -- the definition of content on mobile phones is changing rapidly. So are the ways it's monetized. We explore the options for drawing consumers into a mobile content buying experience -- from short codes to charging consumers' cell phone accounts and why the Internet's credit card model fails so miserably in the mobile world.

Hall A
3:10-4:00: Big Hopes for Off-Portal
Once hostile to mobile commerce proposals not directly connected to their decks, U.S. carriers are following T-Mobile's lead and gradually opening their walled gardens. We consider whether the U.S. is set to experience the kind of boom in off-portal content that carriers like Vodafone are experiencing in Europe. And what kind of content will play best -- sports, ringtones, movie tickets, adult, or...?

3:10-4:00: Mobile Search: Evolving for a New Medium
Google, Yahoo, 4Info and Synfonic are experimenting with SMS queries for everything from pizza to movie theaters. AOL Mobile offers a searchable Yellow Pages database. We consider how players big and small are adjusting to the wireless paradigm -- and what the prospects are for monetizing it.

Hall C
3:10-4:00: New Revenue from Mobile Music
With the launch of Verizon's VCast Music Service and the Sprint Music Store, the battle is joined for the sale of music over the airwaves. Mobile music revenues could help counter-balance leveling ringtone revenue and the lurking specter of India-style ringtone piracy. But plenty of questions remain to be answered: will consumers pay $2.99 or more for over-the-air music downloads when they can buy songs for 99 cents on iTunes (or steal them)? Will consumers be as turned on by music streaming on their cell phones as they are by Internet radio? And what's all the talk about music videos on cell phones?

Hall A
5:00-5:30: How to Drive Off–Portal Traffic
Media companies and brands are starting to embrace mobile entertainment. This case study will look at stepping outside the walled garden, and driving downloads through operator independent channels. Specifically, it will examine how to drive on-device growth through mobile search, pay-per-click and advertising. In addition, we will talk about: downloading Java applications from the Web, Yahoo! FIFA World Cup (case study), the importance of viral marketing, measuring success, Web to mobile conversion rates, good response rates and consumers' education.

Hall C
5:00-5:30: Rich Mobile Media
In 2006 we are for the first time seeing the real, tangible effects of rich media in the mobile industry. Recent service launches, including 'single price' off-deck music downloads, and new mobile billing methods will be discussed which demonstrate how rich media is finally moving away from the fringe and into the mainstream with sustainable business models that will revolutionize mobile entertainment.

Global
Brands, Mobile Marketing and Community
Brands are discovering that mobile phones are a great
platform for viral marketing and building a community.
Fox, which recently acquired MySpace, will be able to
market to millions of new potential customers when MySpace
Mobile goes live this spring. Cingular is tapping
Fox's "American Idol" community by allowing viewers
to text in their votes. We explore the explosive
mixture of brands, mobile marketing and community.

Hall
A
6:20-7:10: U.S. Messaging: Off and
Running
After
a slow start, the U.S. messaging market is taking off,
boosted by a growing number of teenage users and the
success of mass media campaigns like Cingular's partnership
with Fox's American Idol, which last year generated
55 million user text messages (a Guinness World Record).
Smaller campaigns by Harper Collins, MTV, ABC soap operas
and dozens of others have also helped educate the market.
We examine the prospects for the U.S. market and media
companies' role in it.

B
6:20-7:10: Get
in the Game
With
more than $2.5 billion revenue in 2005, the worldwide
mobile gaming market is poised for fast growth. We consider
what games will score the biggest gains; the impact
of 3D, multi-player and location-based games on the
market; and whether specialized phones such as Telematics'
Gizmondo and Nokia's N-Gage will play an important role.

6:20-7:10: Mobile
Sports: Big Score on the Little Screen
Sports
are a big part of what mobile entertainment consumers
crave, and content providers such as ESPN Mobile and
FoxSports are rushing to provide it to them. So are
Major League Baseball, the NFL, the PGA -- even World
Wrestling. Content offerings range from news updates,
photos and stats to mobile games and live TV feeds.
We consider the offerings and potential of mobile sports.
