[kNews] Ship meeting, Streaming Media Europe and China...

[kNews <k-news@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Dear All,

First, a quick welcome to all our new friends from the music industry met 
at ITC - more about that next week. Continuing with our oceanic theme, the 
venue for the London meeting turns out to be a ship! HMS President to be 
exact. It would have been even more mystically-freaky if it had been a surf 
board, eh?! Hmmm?...

HMS President - Thames venue for Kendra meeting 22/10/2001
----------------------------------------------------------

We have the date. We have the venue. We have refreshments. We have 19 days 
to go. We have lots to speak about. We have much to do. There will be 
representatives from the whole content value chain, from consumers to 
content owners: the music/radio industry, film/video/TV industry, Internet 
service providers, content delivery networks, commercial and free (open 
source) software communities, payment system companies, legal industry, 
financial industry, etc... All with a view to creating an open platform for 
content distribution facilitating revenue generation. Yes, it has a pay 
button on it! It's going to be fun. So, come along and participate.
 

Register NOW! See: http://www.kendra.org.uk/meetings/20011022invite.php

Please note that the ship will be stationary. It is permanently moored in 
its position. So, we'll not be setting sail for the new land... well, not 
just yet, any road. ;-)
