9:30-10:10: So This Time Do the Telcos Have It Right?

From Pacific Bell's trials in Silicon Valley to Bell South's Hollywood partnerships, telcos have invested billions over the last decade trying to get video services to their customers. What's different this time? Can IP-enabled video services succeed where other technologies failed? Does anyone have a good business model? And why build the whole infrastructure when you can just buy small cable operators?

1:15-2:00: Video: Is Content the Kingmaker?

The cable industry has been investing heavily in content to avoid becoming a pipeline with no ability to charge for programming. Does the telco industry have an advantage because they already operate without content revenue? How do programmers view IPTV? Is IPTV a threat because it seems like a wild frontier without content controls? Will IPTV be a cable “also ran” because content owners will demand protection of network operators? This panel will address perspectives from programmers, regulators, network operators, and security vendors.

Ballroom C

2:05-2:50: Enabling the Home Network

As cable companies know well, distributing content to multiple devices creates an opportunity for incremental revenue from customers and helps create loyalty. How does the equation change in an IP network? Should telcos push directly to wireless distribution or leverage wiring that already exists in the home? What security technologies are emerging to protect content? And how can customers be insulated from the network's complexity?

3:45-4:30: The PC as Entertainment Hub

PC makers are bidding to become part of the living room landscape, sporting remote controls and, soon, instant on-off capabilities. How will PCs be integrated into consumers' experience of television, music, video and gaming? How can cable operators and telcos exploit this new platform? How can existing TV video and music content be repurposed?
