| The speakers will cover the
following topics: |
| • |
Where is the
entertainment consumption going: what services can we expect in
the next few years? |
| • |
Who will
control access: will “à la carte” pricing replace
“packages-based pricing”? |
| • |
Is broadband
about to kill the business of Hollywood? |
| • |
Will the
device matter? Are the PC and the Digital Set Top Box on a
collision course? |
| • |
Which types
of technologies developed here in the Silicon Valley are
relevant for the Digital Home? |
