A fledgling but diverse market
- The combination of digitisation, technological advancements in data storage and the ability to personalise how content is consumed have all helped fuel the development of nomad CE
- The nomad CE market creates competition between players from different industries, all implementing distinct business models
Content availability: a central challenge
- Online music, mobile TV and VoD beginning to drive the market
- Personal content too is a key growth area for nomad CE
- Still uncertain distribution (broadcasting, streaming, downloading) and billing modes
- In the long run, fixed-mobile convergence may undermine the existence of a dedicated mobile content market
The mobile devices of tomorrow
- Ubiquitous devices, web-enabled and personal
- Multi-function service access kiosks
- Standardised and interoperable portable audio & video libraries
Stakes and challenges for the industry
- New model emerging: “portable device/service” combination
- Portability increases time spent consuming content and its personalisation
