Donald Jasko to Moderate Digital Hollywood Fall Conference Panel,
"Revisiting the Transformation of Content: IP Video, Datacasting and DSMCC"
Hollywood, CA April 1, 2005 In response to the positive feedback received after he moderated his Enabling the Transformation of Content panel at the Fall 2004 Digital Hollywood Conference, Donald A. Jasko, Chief Executive Officer of Digital Economics, will moderate a panel on April 1, 2005 that will revisit the ramifications of broadband video on the development of digital content. The discussion will focus on the effects of IP Video, Datacasting and DSMCC on the delivery, quantity and nature of entertainment and data delivered to consumers. Among the issues to be addressed are: • What relative advantages do the IP Video, Datacasting and DSMCC technologies hold as they compete to support the delivery of content to consumers? • What competitive factors will be critical in determining the roles each technology will play in developing broadband video infrastructure? • To what extent will this competition produce a win-win for all technology providers, and to what extent will it be a zero-sum game? • What relative economic returns will entertainment and data offer the operators of broadband video pipelines? • How will IP Video, Datacasting and DSMCC affect the manner in which content creators distinguish themselves in an increasingly crowded marketplace? • What role will the consumer play in identifying successful broadband video technologies? Appearing on the 2005 panel will be: • Scott Dougall, Director of Content Delivery Software, SkyStream Networks • Ervin Leibovici, Chief Executive Officer, BitBand • Sam Pemberton, Chief Executive Officer, Softel-USA • Roger Shanafelt, Vice President of Worldwide Sales & Marketing, Myrio The panel will commence at 9:30 AM on April 1.
