MPEGIF Master Class

April 19, 2009

Las Vegas Convention Center

In many parts of the world the era of analog television is coming to a
close. Over the air analog television ends in the USA this year. Analog
cable transmissions are being replaced, slowly but surely, by all-digital
transmissions that free up valuable bandwidth for new advanced services.
Satellite broadcast has enjoyed digital technology from its early days by
embracing MPEG-2 initially and more recently MPEG-4, especially for HD
services. Video over DSL, without any analog legacy, has come out of the
gate with all digital, all IP addressable services. However, as one era ends
and another begins, there are still more questions than answers in many
areas especially regarding the business efficacy of the new services that
digital technology, and especially IP addressability, enables. How can these
new services be implemented without creating an intolerable "cap-ex" burden
on operators that can't be offset by the new ARPU models? How much of the
load can be put into the network to reduce subscriber acquisition costs? How
will the legal challenges presented by privacy, copyright and fair access
issues be resolved? The MPEGIF MasterClass will tackle these issues head-on
by bringing prominent contributors from pioneering service operators and
content owners around the world to speak at this Master Class.

Confirmed Speakers include: 

Bob Clasen - Chairman and CEO, Starz, LLC

Bob Wilson - Motorola

Hanno Basse - Vice President, Broadcast Systems Engineering, DIRECTV Inc.

William Cooper - Chief Executive, informitv
