Thursday, February 9 2:15 PM - 3:30 PM Session A: Movies and TV for Mobile - Original Entertainment & Information Programming Jumpstarts the Revolution In this session, we will approach the question of original entertainment, from the TV and film industries, to the mobile consumer. Will anyone be able to remember a day when they couldn’t watch a football game on their mobile device – or watch the news? Want to check out a movie? Why not tune in via a mobile device while you’re waiting on line at the airport? Why not watch The Apprentice in the car on the mobile? Seems logical. In fact, seems like an idea that should have always been around. While that’s the way we may look back on it five years from today, but today we are proud to bring together a group of executives from content and mobile companies who are now making this idea possible. Movies and TV content specifically for the mobile user, it here, we’ve got it and in this session we’re going to talk about it.
