Hollywood
has an unprecedented opportunity to go mobile. Video, music,
television, images, and marketing are all migrating to the
world's 1 billion-plus content-capable cellphones. Who's furthest
ahead, who's making the most deals and money, what is Hollywood
looking for in partners, and how are digital rights being
addressed?

TV and Video: Who's Watching?
Verizon
recently launched eight channels of mobile television in the
largest U.S. markets. Sprint is launching ABC shows like “Desperate
Housewives” on its network. Mobile TV has arrived. But is
anyone watching? Do viewers prefer true mobile TV or on-demand
video? Who's making money? Our panelists consider the answers.

Users Unbound
YouTube,
MySpace, Facebook -- all the big social networking and user-generated
sites are either already mobile or will be shortly. The future
appears to be one of untethered community, with users seamlessly
connected to online, wireless and emerging platforms. Professional
content creators could use this powerful new platform to create
buzz far more effectively than passive advertising ever could
-- and perhaps create entirely new art mediums. Or they could
see their markets evaporate.

a Channel for Off Deck Content
Off-deck
content -- third-party programming that uses operators' mobile
platforms -- is an increasingly lucrative way to reach consumers.
But sifting through thousands of mobile offerings without
a search engine is as impossible as it would be on the web.
We consider the emerging importance of search for finding
off-deck content.

Advertising Takes Shape
Nobody
likes huge cellphone bills, and it now appears clear that
consumers will accept some ads on their cellphones as the
price of less expensive service. The recent Yahoo!/Vodafone
display advertising venture is one step in that direction.
We consider how mobile advertising's future will unfold: the
place of targeted ads; how text, audio and video work together;
product placement and viral marketing; and the role of new
hardware and software.

4:45-5:30: The
Cellphone as Music Player
Earlier
this month, some U.K. music fans started downloading songs
to their cellphones as they listened to them on the radio
-- more evidence that mobile phones have the potential to
become the primary music player for tens of millions of people.
Whether that happens depends upon a number of still-unanswered
questions, such as: what mobile search and sharing features
do consumers -- particularly young people -- want most? How
can operators make mobile music easily accessible? Will consumers
accept new business models for buying music, including accepting
some advertising?

4:40-5:30: The
Quest for Console-Level Mobile Gaming
A
new survey by Nokia showed that consumers respond best to
mobile games that live up to the standards for graphics created
by console and PC games; people want to interact with other
users and to play for over half an hour at a time. Consumers
are also far more likely to buy a game if they can sample
it on the web first. The question is how quickly cellphone
hardware and software can improve to accommodate those appetites.

10:00-10:45: Selling
to the Americans
U.S.
adoption of 3G cellphones is still just a fraction of that
in Asia or even Europe . The conventional wisdom goes that
America has a multi-device culture, and Americans prefer to
carry around separate laptops, music players and phones rather
than using one device to talk, watch TV, pay bills and listen
to music. Will this always be the case? What are the obstacles
to change? How are the needs and wants of U.S. consumers different
from those of consumers in the rest of the world? How will
broader cultural differences (in Japan , it's extremely rude
to talk on a phone in a restaurant) impact which technologies
and which kinds of content succeed?

10:50-11:30: Cellphones
for the IM Generation
Kids
(12-21) are becoming the first movers in the U.S. mobile data
revolution, rapidly supplementing their computer IMs with
text messages, ringtones, mobile photos and wallpaper. Now
the question is how quickly they'll jump to sexier applications
like mobile music, video, user-generated-content and massively
multiplayer games. And what kind of controls are necessary
to ensure they aren't at risk from predators and offensive
content? Our panel considers the answers.

Defining Convergence
Some
users can now listen to the audio content stored on their
PCs through a mobile phone, thanks to the Phling! service
from Oxy Systems, and every week another software application
goes mobile. You can combine a phone with just about any other
portable device, and every combination has or will be tried.
It's crucial to know what handheld hardware the consumer actually
wants. Does the public want a phone that's a tiny PC? Does
it want a great music player? Does it want a digital video
camera? The audio, video and computing capabilities of new
phones will directly affect which companies benefit most from
the new portability of entertainment.
