9:50:-10:50: Mobile Video: Opportunities and Obstacles
Hollywood and mobile carriers believe mobile video -- including, within 12 months, TV broadcasting on mobile phones -- is a potentially huge market. To create it, however, they must answer questions such as these: How can TV and Video be monetized? What's the value proposition for broadcasters and cable companies? How much time will consumers spend watching content, what quality level will they demand and how should content be tailored to phones? What's the best delivery mechanism? And how should ancillary services such as text messaging be integrated? We examine the landscape.

11:30-12:30: The Race to Broadcast TV to Mobile Phones
Some of the wireless industry's biggest names are competing to deliver television to mobile phones: Nokia is promoting a standard called DVBH; Qualcomm has a technology called MediaFLO; Samsung is championing a satellite-delivered service called DMB; Verizon has its Vcast broadband wireless video-over-IP service; and other carriers are following with their own high-speed mobile video services.  What do broadcasters need to know about entering this lucrative market?

Video content on mobile phones ranges from mobile murder dramas inspired by Fox's hit "24" TV show to news clips and sports.  European consumers are posting mobile video blogs and U.S. consumers will follow shortly. Who's got the killer content, how is it produced, and how is it being monetized?
