One of the advantages of organizing a conference is that I get a sneak preview of the presentations. The presentations I have seen so far have exceeded my expectations. For instance, Karen McKee<\/a><\/strong> gives the term iTV<\/strong> a whole new meaning when she explains some of Horizon Chillicothe\u2019s<\/strong> efforts to transform themselves from a POTS company to a 21st century multimedia success story<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Ian Tapp\u2019s<\/a><\/strong> presentation captures the importance of why Hollywood and other content licensors are so concerned about digital rights management. Further, he discusses the distinction<\/strong> between digital rights management and conditional access<\/strong>. Howard Shapiro\u2019s<\/strong><\/a> presentation discusses the concept of franchising<\/strong> and whether it is always needed, while David Irwin<\/a><\/strong> talks about the many facets of federal regulations<\/strong>. I am impressed with how he weaves an infamous, sometime, female boxer<\/strong> into his presentation.<\/p>\n

David Ernst<\/a><\/strong> provides a view of some of the consumer research that he has led at Initiative Media<\/strong>. They have been looking at what the consumer wants<\/strong> from this brave new interactive world. Peter Lowten<\/strong><\/a> will provide his insight and predictions on HDTV<\/strong> as it relates to independent telcos. It has also been rumored that Doug Mielke<\/a> of Technicolor<\/strong> will be bringing some pretty impressive demonstrations of low-bit rate High Definition<\/strong> encoding as part of his presentation.<\/p>\n

For those of you who can\u2019t make the conference, we do have the paper proceedings<\/strong> and we will have a CD-ROM<\/strong> which will consist of the presentations synchronized to the speakers\u2019 audio. If you respond to this email requesting either of these items, Viodi will extend a 15% off<\/strong> of the to-be-determined, list price for these items when they are available. A response will in no way obligate you to purchase these items, but it will give you priority to purchase these items. Club Viodi members will receive an additional 10% discount.<\/p>\n

The Korner:<\/strong><\/p>\n

[Editor\u2019s note: a new section to publish the true drivel that sometimes emanates from this writer\u2019s alter ego, Krazy Ken]<\/p>\n

Have to name drop, since I was doing the Hollywood scene<\/strong> last week. So, my friend and colleague, Brian Stevenson<\/strong> and I are at one of Hollywood\u2019s finer dining establishments, Baja Fresh<\/strong> (great place to get a health-Mex Burrito for less than $5), when Brian points out to me that sitting two tables over is David Hyde-Pierce<\/strong>, better known as Frasier\u2019s brother<\/strong> on the NBC hit show, Frasier<\/em>. Amazingly, I didn\u2019t hound him for an autograph. I guess I was too focused on my fine cuisine to bother him. I was impressed that Hyde-Pierce did bus his own table.<\/p>\n
