On Monday, April 14, be sure your NAB Show plans include the Television Management Conference which focuses on the DTV Transition and Mobile TV.

Start your day with breakfast with the Open Mobile Video Coalition (OMVC) during the session "Mobile TV: Opportunity at 100 MPH!" As early as next year, rock-solid, full-motion local television will be available on cellular phones, PDAs, PCs, in-car navigation and entertainment devices. Many are calling it today's single most exciting new spectrum opportunity for local broadcasters. The OMVC invites executives from television, telcos, cable and OEMs to learn more about breakthroughs and milestones in engineering, consumer interest and testing, and new revenue opportunities in the fast approaching locally broadcast Mobile TV world.

You should also plan to attend "February 17, 2009: The Buck Stops Here! DTV Transition Best Practices," co-produced by NAB and MSTV. This is the last national gathering of broadcasters prior to the DTV transition. No matter the issue - small or large - you are charged with the responsibility of finding a solution. The industry's successes are enormous, but one factor that cannot be disputed is that it is up to YOU to make it all fall into place during this historical journey. Whether you have a tower issue, a question on how to approach a local Kiwanis Club or are looking for digital transition show stoppers, corporate leaders and transition pioneers will share their first-hand experiences and lend advice on those tasks that may still remain on your transition "To Do" list.
