Framing the session....
Mobile devices are personal and this makes mobile unique in the world of digital screens. TV's, desktop's, tablets and notebooks are mostly shared and therefore user data that comes from them, and that is stored on them, can be from one of a number of people. A mobile, with the accepted occasional exception is from one person. However the battle grounds are being set out between the eco-systems of broadcasters, web silo's and mobile as all of them want access to, and control, over your income (discretional and normal purchases). Strategically this is an important time for the three industries that have, as of today, been quite separate, standalone and created value for their own eco-systems. In some respects there has been some leakage and/or substitution of value and control across them already but nothing like the war that is about to ensue.
Mobile 2 has always prided itself in looking beyond the current issues to debate what is coming and who control's who in a multi-screen world is a critical topic for any strategist in the next 5 years. Mobile companies are depending on their personal relationship and customer insight to keep them at the front line. Broadcasters depend on exclusive access to the best sport and movies to keep their brand and position. Web companies have a generic dependence on the paid for telco bit pipe and barter of your data for free services.
All three realise that their model will change and come under increasing pressure and as we head for the new "digital" normal there will not be three industries but one and each of them want their brand as the brand that demands your attention and income. In this multi-screen world there are regulation, technology, economic and social issues to debate and at mobile 2 we will focus on the economics and the subsequent business models, and the technology solutions.
This session will not offer one solution or propose one outcome as there is a wide range of competing ideals that have underlying assumptions and we intend to get to drive out key assumptions and drivers. To do this we have gathered some global experts who have thought though the issues and implications and are knowledgeable and vocal.
