LA Notes: The Future Of Content Panel

COLIN: What is the most important platform or medium?

RAFAT – The future of content is whatever you want it to be. It will be everything you see comoing along like Twitter. Mobile is the most interesting thing happening today. There’s a confluence in the last 6 months that is trying to bridge the gap between telephone and online. That’s the most interesting thing we’ll see over the next 12 months – especially if Google wins a telecom license.

ANIL – The mobile provides communication plus the internet plus mobility.. We could get our content and put it everywhere, sure – but can we leverage this mobility to create a new type of content or a new type of show… Many people were disappointed with the lack of streaming and podcasting that was put ibn the iPhone.

EZRA – There are a lot of missteps taking place in the industry. For Current, we have created a consumer facing website. Up until now, it was about the viewer-creators but left out the 99% of viewers who just wanted to watch it.
