Changing
Channels
Long
controlled by carriers, the U.S. mobile content market
is opening up. The changes can be seen in a growing
off-deck market, the rise of MVNOs and media companies
aggressively selling mobile content on their websites.
How quickly will these new channels of distribution
develop? Will the U.S. soon resemble the European market,
where well over half of mobile content sold is off-portal?

The Rise of Mobile Marketing
Mobile marketing and advertising
are still in their infancy in the U.S., but their power
to sway millions of people is abundantly clear from
successful campaigns such as Cingular's groundbreaking
SMS voting on American Idol. What shape will mobile
marketing take? What role will short codes, the mobile
Internet, multimedia and other tools of the mobile promotion
trade play?

4:00-4:50: Mobile Search
Search engines and
portals promise to play as important a role in defining
mobile content as they do on the Internet, but they're
likely to have far more specific purposes: say, finding
a specific song to download or a nearby restaurant.
We examine players big and small attacking the mobile
search space and their business models.

Making Money
from Messaging
Both
brands and entertainment properties such as “American
Idol” have demonstrated that integrating premium
mobile messaging services and mobile communities can
enhance viewer loyalty and create new sources of advertising,
brand building, and sponsorship revenue. Mobile text
messaging has special promise in selling brands or personalities,
creating an instant link between on-screen personalities
and viewers. Learn what works and what doesn't from
the content owners, brand marketers, and developers
who pioneered premium messaging.

Consumers
want an easy method of making payments. What are the
