Ursprünglich war beabsichtigt, an dieser Stelle die hier ausgewählten Veranstaltungsinweise durch aktuelle Eintragungen über die Vorträge zu ergänzen. Aber die Rechnung war ohne den Wirt gemacht worden.
Im Gegensatz zum letzten Jahr gab es weder die Möglichkeit, ein Aufzeichnung der Sessions durchzuführen oder zu erwerben, noch ein finanziell vertretbares Angebot für die Bereitstellung eines WiFi-Zone-Zugangs in den Konferenzräumen.
Hätte man man diesen Dienst für die gesamte Zeit der Konferenz und bei Rechnungsstellung in Anspruch nehmen wollen, dann wäre dies nur zu einem Preis von 595.- Dollar möglich gewesen, zuzüglich 100,- Dollar, wenn man diesen Dienst nicht vorab bestellt hat.
In diesem Fall war sowohl fernmündlich als auch schriftlich an den Betreiber Smart City eine Anfrage gerichtet worden mit der Bitte, ein Angebot zuzusenden. Eine entsprechendes Angebot auf diese Anfrage hat es bis zum Eintreffen vor Ort allerdings nicht gegeben.
So bleibt es bei der Wiedergabe einiger Szene-Fotos. Auf Wunsch können weitere bereitgestellt werden.
Eine mündliche Zusammenfassung wird es am 6. Mai ab 18 Uhr auf "Radio Eins", einem Programm des RBB, geben [1].

Mobile TV Standards of Service, Service of Standards
In the past 12 months, mobile TV has become a key application that mobile operators need to deploy to attract new subscribers, or simply retain their existing base. While the business models and killer applications for mobile video are still being researched, mobile operators and broadcasters face a wide variety of mobile video distribution standards, devices, and applications that deeply affect how those services are deployed. this session presents an analysis of how 3GPP, DVB-h and DMB-T are being deployed, their pros and cons, and their impact on how and what services can be offered.

Some of the wireless industry’s biggest names are competing to deliver television to mobile phones: Nokia is promoting a standard called DVBH; QUALCOMM has a technology called MediaFLO; Samsung is championing a satellite-delivered service called DMB; Verizon has its Vcast broadband wireless video-over-IP service; and other carriers are following with their own high-speed mobile video services. What do broadcasters need to know about entering this lucrative market?

Anne Sweeney , president of Disney-ABC Television Group and co-chair of Disney Media Networks, will deliver the keynote address at the TV Masters Luncheon co-produced by NAB and Broadcasting & Cable magazine Tuesday, April 25 at NAB2006 in Las Vegas.
The TV Masters Luncheon, co-sponsored by U.S. Digital Television and W Las Vegas Hotel and Casino, will focus on how media companies are monetizing new distribution platforms, including digital, mobile, broadcast and the Web.
Sweeney’s address will be followed by a panel discussion focusing on how content providers and distribution outlets are driving new business. The luncheon panel will feature
– Larry Kramer, president, CBS Digital Media;
– Ric Harris, executive vice president/general manager, digital media and strategic marketing, NBC Universal Television Stations;
– Terry Mackin, executive vice president, Hearst-Argyle Television and head of Hearst-Argyle’s digital media;
– Susana Schuler, vice president of news, Raycom Media; and
– Bill Hague, vice president, Frank N. Magid Associates.
"This luncheon will provide an informative look at the many opportunities available to content providers who embrace technology," said Broadcasting & Cable Publisher Chuck Bolkcom. "Whether it’s streaming content on the web or delivering programming to handheld devices, broadcasters and other media companies are re-inventing their business models."
"With every new gadget lies a new opportunity and with every new program stream lies a potential new revenue stream," said NAB President and CEO David K. Rehr. "Last year, broadcast television delivered the top 255 most watched programs. With that kind of appeal, it’s no wonder why Internet, telephony and mobile video companies are seeking partnerships with broadcasters. We look forward to hearing the insights of all of these high-profile industry leaders."
