Click on the Video Below and Sample a Session from Digital Hollywood Spring, 2006 For Additional Video Sessions, Click Here Tuesday, August 15 3:50 PM - 5:00 PM Track II: Mobile Music: New Platforms + New Technology + More Music + Dynamic Marketplace The music industry and the mobile community were made for each other. We got an inkling of it twenty years ago when the Walkman changed the way people listened to music, but we didn’t understand just how it would emerge until a couple of hundred million wirelessly connected handheld devices got sold to the consumer in one year. That is a whole other story. As a result of the mobile explosion, music and the consumer experience is about to take on a whole other relationship. With music as ringtone, mobile device as retail provider, mobile device as radio player, mobile device as music library, the consumer will be fully immersed in a mobile music experience. In this session we will not only address the question of mobile device as a musical provider, we will address the issue of revenue generation in that process. With the industry experts in the session representing all sides of the mobile revenue question, it is bound to be informative.
