Session B:
Wireless Media - The Next Wave of Delivering Content on the Web
As everyone knows, wireless is the hottest technology in the marketplace. Wireless has obviously redefined the telecommunications industry, and now it’s headed into the media business. Content of all kinds is going to be delivered on wireless, from email, news, and financial services to more elaborate forms of content. Of course there are questions. What kind of content and services will wireless devices be able to reliably deliver and in what time framework? Will wireless effectively deliver video? In this session, Digital Hollywood takes it first look at wireless. We welcome the idea as well as its leading practitioners to our event.
