The starting gun has sounded and the race is on. Across several industries - media & entertainment, retail, telco, wireless - a full-scale conversion to digital content is now underway. Capturing this opportunity requires new business models and new technologies for delivering content and value to customers. Key questions remain: What breakthroughs are required to meet the pent-up demand for mobile content and services that are affordable and easy to use? Will the entertainment industry continue to shift away from a reliance on blockbuster hits to a new world of thousands of small-niche customer segments? How will the retail channel change and evolve as digital content takes center-stage? Here you will see an interactive exploration of what it takes to compete and win as the conversion to digital content accelerates on a global scale.
