Mobile Video • Single task – can’t do something else while doing this • Where will users get content? • Install base potential? Cell phone: 180 million in U.S. Towers have 3G capability • Digital Rights Management – “nightmare for consumers” • Citizen media – blogs, podcasts don’t face DRM hurdles

Mobile Video • TV – users don’t want to miss anything • Content from any era at any time • User doesn’t want to pay for content twice – DRM for video is much more restrictive than other media at the moment. • There will not be only one model. People want downloaded, stored media AND streaming media on demand.
Blue Ray vs HD-DVD • DVD in current format doesn’t do HDTV • Blue Ray 25-50 GB (more capability for additional content?) • HD-DVD – 15-30 GB (although new development of triple layer HD-DVD allows 15-45 GB • Blue Ray getting majority of support • Format war keeps consumer wallets shut • Blueray requires a more expensive re-tool for equipment producers

Home Entertainment Network/Hub • March to the living room • Media Center PC – Microsoft – serves content to other units • Network savvy separates – harder • Network headaches are a big roadblock • Fidelity issues – hubs must scale down content to be transmittable.
Home Entertainment Network/Hub What will you use this for? • Music – 33% • Photos – 5% • Video – 62%

Home Entertainment Network/Hub • Video is the real issue. The ability to distribute audio via networking has been solved in many homes already • Home networking is moving ahead • HDTV and home media hub technologies are evolving in parallel – not together but side by side • DRM will get there - translators being developed • Tangibility of media – virtual access a roadblock – important to users not but not important to future users (e.g. magazine databases)
