[ Agenda and Presentations]

After text and music it is the turn of video to be transmitted in volume over the Internet. Early efforts fared poorly, either for technological or economic reasons. But now, a new medium is merging and emerging. What are the implications? Just as TV was not simply radio with pictures or film over the air, the new medium is beginning to develop new content and business models. This will deeply affect existing media types, firms, and regulatory arrangements.

This conference, held at Columbia, will analyze these developments and projections. It will bring together speakers from academia, media firms, the tech and Internet community, and government. The regulatory dimension will be discussed in an evening session, held at the Association of the Bar of the City of New York.

The conference is CITI’s third event on the subject, with the first (1995) resulting in the publication “Cyber TV”, and the second, held in 2001, resulting in the book “Internet Television.” Each anticipated the emerging trends and obstacles.
