Content Delivery: What, Where, When, and How You Want It

Ed Zander, CEO of Motorola, outlined key technology drivers:

1.) Content creation moving to spontaneous generation,
2.) Content distribution moving away from TV Broadcast to a Personanet --- community content by and for individuals
3.) Content presentation moving from a single screen to multiple screens
4.) Content delivery moving from time-shifted to place-shifted where “follow me” entertainment can go form at will room-to-room or place-to-place pausing and restarting on either fixed and mobile devices
5.) Content consumption moving to participatory broadcast with interactive real-time audience participation over the Internet

Mobilizing, personalizing and socializing content drives change and the network brings it all together. Cisco’s many screens to many devices using an all-encompassing IPNGN network supporting Video 2.0 echoes the vision outlined by each of these industry speakers.

Finally, Bob Wright, Vice Chairman of General Electric’s content subsidiaries emphasized how content companies are now in the same boat with the service providers working closely with them to distribute content across the IP network in new, unique and exciting ways.

It’s refreshing to see that Cisco’s IPNGN strategy is so in synch with what partners and customers are articulating as their new world vision of using the network to deliver entirely new sets of experiences to customers. The business opportunities for us all become endless.
