Hvem står tilbage i morgendagens medie-stoledans?

PANEL: Kenneth Plummer (DK), generaldirektør, DR // Per Mikael Jensen (DK), fritstillet adm. direktør, TV 2, og CEO, Metro International // Morten Wagner (DK), medstifter og marketingsdirektør, Freeway // Pål Thore Krosby (N), adm. direktør, Aller Press
MODERATOR: Troels Mylenberg, leder, Center for Journalistik, SDU

Printmedierne udfordrer tv på levende billeder samtidig med de poster millioner i online-mediernes nyhedsmarked. De traditionelle broadcastvirksomheder, DR og TV 2, rykker stadig flere aktiviteter over på de nye medier, og alle sukker efter at udnytte de nye muligheder i online-fællesskaber.

I denne session får du mulighed for at høre hvordan forvirringen ser ud fra toppen, når mediebosserne kommer frem med deres visioner, drømme og skræmmebilleder i en ny medievirkelighed.

Er de nye medier en gave eller en trussel for medievirksomhederne? Hvad er det for en fremtid bosserne ser for sig selv og hinanden, og hvem står bedst rustet til at udnytte de nye muligheder?

Start-Ups: Mobile innovation in dire times

Ronni Tino Pedersen — Mon, 23 Feb 2009 20:20:46 +0000

Anyone with intent to stay ahead in the telecom business were in Barcelona last week for the Mobile World Congress 2009 (MWC). HSDPA, LTE, femtocells and many other telecom technicalities soon to constitute the backbone of our everyday mobile use were presented and debated by 47.000 high-level business attendees.

But how to celebrate the achievements of an industry while dealing with the uncertain implications of a recession? This is a dilemma that many a congress or conference will no doubt face this year. Exhibitors launching their latest high-end phone must get a sense of creeping frustration, when market predictions show consumers will be saving on handsets this year. Speakers better be prepared for business model inquiries also.

Progress doesn’t come to those who wait however and while “business model” seems to be the number one concern-du-jour, “differentiation” and good old “innovation” are strong runners-up. Chin high, chest out and innovate your way over the economic hurdle is the word coming from several industry advisors.

In this light it actually makes perfect sense to attend conferences, getting noticed and share inspiration to rethink business opportunities. To meet customers and competitors face-to-face to assess the damage externally, as Cisco CEO, John Chambers, suggests. To ask peers: “How are you handling this?”

Judging from the last Mobile Monday get-together in Copenhagen, Danish start-ups are handling these dire times quite enthusiastically.

Here eight mobile business innovators were competing to persuade the audience into voting for them as The Copenhagen Favorite, i.e. the one to represent Denmark in the finals at MWC Barcelona and have the chance of winning a Mobile Peer Award.

Ingenuity ranged from mobile Marvel comics to mobile ID authentication (all eight slideshows are available from the Mobile Monday website), but the one start-up voted to compete in Barcelona beat all others on the gadget-o-meter. Mobintech presented us with the future of mobile TV viewing in the shape of Personal Display Glasses.

This is me trying the snazzy goggles right before I’m treated to a Vulcan death grip by the impatient guy next in line. I wasn’t particularly impressed with the viewing experience, but guys from Mobintech blamed the ad-hoc connection setup and said they’d have it all fixed in time for the MWC showdown. Let’s hope they did.

Either way it didn’t convince the Mobile Peer Awards jury, who decided to honor – among others – the Indian finalist, Babajob – Better Jobs for Everone, for their social change tool set to improve the efficiency of informal job markets.

Jury member MATTHAUS KRZYKOWSKI of Venturebeat writes about the decision:

Babajob.com won the [Mobile Monday] Community Award for early-stage startups. Babajob also won the Jury Award for very early-stage companies. Being part of that jury we felt comfortable to disclose that our choices came down to a Top 3 of Babajob, Mob4Hire and Aka-Aki (in that ranking order). Amongst the three we all agreed that Babajob’s business model has the highest upside. We evaluated the companies on the criterium “whether we would be investing our own money” in them.

Scandinavia didn’t go unrewarded though. Swedish product, Popcatcher, won the Jury Award for emerging companies for their mobile software that records music from radio programmes, but automatically skips all advertising and speak. Haven’t tried it, but can’t wait.

Congratulations to Popcatcher and everyone else keeping the innovative spirit high!

PICNIC08: The Future of Television

Ronni Tino Pedersen — Thu, 25 Sep 2008 13:45:57 +0000

Liberty Global is the second-largest cable TV operator in the world. At PICNIC08 CEO Mike T. Fries was on stage talking about the new interactive European TV viewer, webifying television, and building digital confidence.

Traditional television may be challenged by technology convergence, mobile media and user content, but TV providers shouldn’t try to be like their upcoming competitors. “We consider streaming TV services like Joost or Hulu as product development. They help us to think about how to improve our own service, but we don’t consider them direct competitors,” said Fries.

UPC, the European cable division of Liberty Global, just rolled out a 120 Mbps fiber connection in the Netherlands. It’s the first of its kind in Europe, and according to Mike T. Fries spells out the future of television: A big pipe bringing relevant content to a clear screen.

Relevant content includes advertising focused on the individual user wrapped seamlessly around premium content to be viewed at the leisure of the user, ie. on-demand. In the long run consumers don’t want low-quality content on small screens and will pay for high-quality TV experiences if the content is otherwise good. As an example of a future UPC digital channel Fries tells about Carzone: A video-on-demand channel catering for the auto afficionado with interactive content and non-linear programming.

Ironically, these are the prime characteristics we have come to love when using computer media which Fries wants to be distinctive from. I guess in times of convergence it’s hard to distinguish competitors from non-competitors… In the end, the ecology of video content outlets will consist of the providers that offer the best content in the most meaningful way. Television will most likely be somewhere along the user preference scale. To be in the top or at the bottom remains a question of…well, what!?
