Kendra Broadband Future Forum

This is an open source project...

• Emerging interoperable content publishing and discovery technologies will create a dynamic and open marketplace.
• Right now, finding media is hard, and paying for it is harder.
• New standards such as W3C's semantic web will enable new and exciting business models to be created.
• Consumers will find and buy content where, when and how they want.
• How will content owners and service providers gain competitive edge in this new flat world?
• What is the impact on current business models and strategic planning?

This event will provide a vision presentation, demonstration of our semantic information publishing / querying prototype. It will interest researchers, media executives and commentators keen to keep abreast of standards development implications.
