Connected TV 2011: impressive speaker line-up forming

It looks like Connected TV 2011 will be an exciting event. So far, we have some very high-profile players make speaker commitments for this full-day, English-language, interactive event in Utrecht, on April 27:

• Amino (a supplier of Telecom Italia)
• Netgem (supplier of Telstra, Telekom Slovenije, Monaco, Melita; and shareholder in Fetch TV's IP Vision)
• Oregan Networks (supplier of Telefonica and Cello Electronics; Onyx Box)
• Wyplay (supplier of SFR, Vodafone Spain)
• Cisco
• Alcatel-Lucent
• Axel Springer Digital TV Guide

I have also updated this post, containing links to all freely accessible Connected TV related commentaries.

To be sure about what Connected TV is (and what it is not: it's not IPTV, but rather IPTV 2.0 or TV-over-IP):

Consumer perspective:

• More choice, content discovery
• On demand
• True interactivity of broadcast and broadband (not fake interactivity, such as interrupting live TV of VOD)
• Second screen

Operator perspective:

• Usage
• Business model
• Advertising
• ARPU
• Multi screen
• Content rights
• Cord cutting
