Visit our booth at Broadband Content World Europe 2001
------------------------------------------------------

Many thanks to Terrapinn for, yet again, footing my travel and 
accommodation fees. Also, for providing a 9 square metre booth which we'll 
have packed with Kendra paraphernalia. If you're interested in assisting 
then post to John Oliver on kGen. 

A slight correction: Douglas Adams will not be attending. I was really 
looking forward to meeting the man that created such laughter in the world. 
I know he will be greatly missed. 

In their own words...

"Content Providers will have the Most Significant Part to Play in 
Stimulating Broadband Revenues from Broadband Networks" (Source: Report 
launched at Asia Telecom 2000). 

As revenue from voice deteriorates, delivery of quality bundled content 
will be the crucial competitive point of differentiation for broadband 
service providers. Competition will continue to increase between different 
broadband devices and delivery platforms. Killer applications, cutting edge 
content and additional services will inevitably drive mass-market migration 
to broadband. LEAD THIS BROADBAND RACE! Broadband Content World Europe 2001 
offers you the right marketing exposure to this lucrative content delivery 
network! 

BROADBAND CONTENT WORLD 2001 is where broadband content meets delivery 
Europe's Only Dedicated Broadband Content Show Where Broadband Partnerships 
Are Formed Bringing Together Broadband Service Providers and Broadband 
Content Owners. 

The conference takes place:
Palais des Festivals et des Congres, Cannes, France
05-07/09/2001

There's a 10% discount for Kendra Participants. To get the discount go to:

Broadband Content Congress 2001
-------------------------------

Many thanks to IIR for footing travel and accommodation fees and for 
providing exhibition space. In their own words... 

No one can predict what opportunities and perils lie ahead in the emerging 
broadband era, but IIR's 2nd Annual Broadband Content Congress gets as 
close to the bone as you can get. An unparalleled speaker panel of over 30 
CEOs and executives from around the world will provide delegates with an 
opportunity to hear the views of individuals who will play a major part in 
defining the way we all do business in the future and the way consumers 
will form the core of future business strategy. 

Highlighting the experiences of carriers, service providers, ISPs, portals, 
content providers syndicators, aggregators and networkers this congress 
will be invaluable in the development of a long term broadband content 
strategy. 

Depending on your position in the broadband content value chain the 
challenges facing you are different and it is the meeting of these 
challenges and understanding of where the money-making opportunities lie 
within the chain that is critical to the success of your business model. 
The structure of the conference has been designed to ensure that it is a 
"must attend" for all members of the value chain, making it the premier 
event in Europe where the complete broadband value chain is represented. 

Incorporating the 2nd Annual Broadband Content Awards for Excellence in the 
industry. Vote now on the event website!
