Pacific Crest Digital Media & Entertainment Forum, NYC
Today I attended the Pacific Crest Digital Media & Entertainment Forum at the Palace Hotel in New York City.
Representatives from Akamai, Macrovision, Sonic Solutions, Sprint Nextel, Revision3, Qualcomm and others spoke to the overall business issues and trends in on-line and mobile entertainment space for both music and video.
There were several sessions that addressed DRM. The consensus was the music and film industries must have some form of right management in place if consumers are going to have choices in how they obtain media; this is light of Steve Jobs recent comments.
On the video side, the domestic and International Broadband landscape was addresses from a technology and legislation perspective in addition to sales, for example; Electronic sell-through is going to blossom in the next two too three years.
Stay tuned for an interview I had with Jay Adelson, CEO of Revision3, which should be online in the coming one too two weeks after my holiday.
