Working in Real Time: Instant Messaging, Push to Talk

What will carriers, device manufacturers and infrastructure vendors do to standardize access?  How will carriers offer this service or similar services?

Ringtones have emerged as one of wireless entertainment's biggest cash cows for the carriers. We examine the existing business, as well as prospects for new entrants such as polyphonic, MIDI and graphical ringtones.

Case Studies and Discussion on Deployment Considerations
Alan Gould,
Westlake Software, CEO

  • Valley Couriers
    Description of wireless services resulting in increased efficiency and and cost savings on Nextel networks for managing, tracking and deployment of courier service employees linked with website.
  • California Power

    This case study describes how several vendors, including Westlake Software, Inc., have teamed together to provide a wireless monitoring and notification system for California to help prevent power outages. This program save dthe state more than $100,000,000 and help aggregate power to over 1,000,000 homes.

Developer Workshop:  Dialogue with Publishers    Ballroom B
3:30-5:30 
(This is an extended two hour roundtable session) 

Panel Discussion:

    • Chris Erickson, Tira Wireless, President and COO
    • Andy Nulman, Airborne Entertainment, President
    • Doug Dyer, THQ Wireless, General Manager
    • Minard Hamilton, Jamdat Mobile, Sr. VP of Corporate Alliances and Sales
    • Christophe Watkins, mForma, VP Content
    • Scott Orr, Sorrent, CEO
    • Moderator: Konny Zsigo, WirelessDeveloper Agency, President

Topics Covered Include:

  • Fighting for deck placement
    Depending upon who you talk to, you get vastly different stories on whether or not the wireless gaming and entertainment business will be dominated by only branded properties brought by the big publishers or a sea of consumer choice supported by hundreds of individual developers and micro-publishers. Some would have you believe that the carriers decks will close up with giant “no thank you” to all but the largest publishers & distributors. What’s the truth? .
  • Port and More Port
    As more and more handsets enter the market and carriers launch with their favorite models, wireless developers are forced to manage a huge array of devices with varying capabilities, screen sizes, memory, processor performance, and quirks in their technology compliance
  • Wireless Software Piracy and Digital Rights Management
    Theft is beginning to happen already. Little websites posting ripped-off J2ME apps, ringtones, graphics, and more. Does the wireless industry have a watchdog group? How big is the problem and what are the carriers & phone manufacturers doing to fix it before everyone in the value chain is out of business?

  • The promise of the wireless, multiplayer gaming experience

    On whose server, exactly? Since the beginning of our the wireless gaming industry there has been the almost universal sentiment that the single-player downloadable game app is a temporary phenomenon, soon to be replaced by multiplayer titles. However, this has been slow to evolve and there appears to be no convergence to standards as carriers and publishers seek to deploy proprietary solutions. Should developers bother with multiplayer?

  • Emerging Business Models
    Understanding the real value of publishing: brand management;
    distribution and marketing; royalties, tracking, and payment. Everything you need to know to negotiate a fair deal in today's marketplace.
 

4:30 to 5:20
