SELF-REGULATION?
Re-Assessing Business Models For ISPs & Rights Holders To Encourage More Legitimate Content
REGULATION?
Understanding The Latest Regulatory Developments, What Rules Might Be Applied, and How They Will Impact Your Business?
ISP Future Content Models & Enforcement Strategies 2008 is a crucial summit bringing together key ISPs with global Content Providers to examine the formulation of new and innovative business models for creating a legitimate content offering on the internet. An unique, European benchmarking opportunity, this summit examines the latest on regulation in the UK and elsewhere in Europe to understand how to overcome the legal, technical and financial barriers posed by regulation, and importantly, how this can be done in a cost-efficient and timely way. Hear solutions from leading ISPs and regulators, including the UK, France, Sweden, the US and Canada.
With ongoing discussion on whether the industry will go down the regulatory or self-regulatory route, it is fundamental for ISPs and Content Providers to establish open value partnerships in order to build effective business models for re-inventing content generation on the internet. The financial value associated with content and creativity has broken down due to high prices and increasing duplication of material. Only through re-developing business models and partnerships between ISPs and Content Providers, and exploring new ways of distributing and selling content to the consumer can we re-build its worth as a fundamental, and saleable, commodity in today’s markets. The industry must now take action to monetise content, re-connect with the consumer and protect rights for the next generation internet. ISP Future Content Models and Enforcement Strategies 2008 will present important insights from key ISPs and content providers including BSkyB, Orange, Teliasonera, Warner Bros, the BPI, Playlouder, Yahoo! Music and Last.fm on the latest business models being developed to re-build content generation revenue.
Day One of the Summit will start with crucial inputs from both the ISPs and content providers to examine who is responsible for protecting copyright online. Regulators at European and national level will assess the latest proposals for ISP enforcement legislation, and strategies to overcome the legal and financial hurdles across international boundaries. Summit participants will then explore alternative models for content sharing revenue, incorporating perspectives from a range of content providers who have partnered with ISPs to create a legitimate content offering online. Special sessions will move onto examine the evolving role of content in the digital era, managing the licensing of rights against the development of new forms of content in different windows, the value of on demand and the implications for piracy and copyright infringement.
Day Two of the Summit will kickstart with an ISP-rights holder panel analysing consumer awareness on content online. Summit participants will then explore how an agreed self-regulatory model might work before discussing the feasibility of filtering technologies to prevent unlawful content and maintain clear and running networks, and the viability of other decryption and digital rights technologies.
