MoTV @ NAB TO CHART THE NEXT REVOLUTION IN MOBILE MEDIA: TELEVISION AND
VIDEO ON CELLPHONES
NAB and iHollywood Forum announce speakers, sessions and sponsors for the second annual
summit.
Los Angeles, CA, March 23, 2007 – The National Association of Broadcasters and iHollywood
Forum, Inc. announced the sessions, speakers and sponsors participating in the second annual
MoTV: Mobile TV and Video Forum on Tuesday, April 17, 2007 during NAB2007.
The event comes as carriers and programmers race toward the goal of near-TV quality video on
cellphones. More than 30 speakers, including Qualcomm Chief Executive Paul Jacobs; HBO’s,
Executive Vice President, Technology and Chief Technology Officer, Robert (Bob) M. Zitter; Sony
Digital Entertainment’s Senior Vice President, Sony Pictures, Digital Sales and Marketing,
Michael Arrieta, are expected at the event, which played to a sell-out crowd of nearly 1,000
attendees last year.
“The television broadcasters and programmers attending NAB need to know how their content
will be adapted on cellphones,” said Michael Stroud, CEO and Co-Founder of iHollywood Forum.
“MoTV is designed to educate them, and help them cut the deals they need to succeed in the
mobile world.”
MoTV is the first and largest event in the world dedicated to mobile video and will take place as
part of NAB2007, the world’s largest electronic media show. More than 100,000 attendees,
sponsors and exhibitors are expected to attend NAB2007.
The conference will consider the two emerging models for mobile video: a "one-to-one" model
that lets users pick the video-on-demand or streaming video content they want over the mobile
Internet; and a "one-to-many" model that brings true television over a dedicated spectrum to
users.
MoTV’s lively agenda, mostly moderated by key journalists and analysts, will feature sessions
such as Mobile Video: Opportunities and Obstacles, Video that Cells and Selecting Viable
Business Models.
