CES 2007 Digital Media Wrap-up

Creating, Securing and Delivering Multimedia Digital Content Anytime, Anywhere, and on Any Device

This Research Brief is part of the Digital Media Research Service


While this year’s CES 2007 show in Las Vegas demonstrated that having the right partners, business models, and rights to exclusive content can create a quality (targeted) customer experience, it was also clear that many challenges remain. This Research Brief provides in-depth and emerging trends analysis of the various show announcements which indicate that a growing variety of key contenders are entering the dynamic digital media supply chain. As these players continue to create new digital content and related services, and forge partnerships with a wide assortment of content originators, aggregators, device manufacturers and carriers, they will also have to grapple with increasingly complex business and content rights issues. ABI Research believes that highly efficient platforms or middleware, as well as networks, will have to be put in place to manage and secure the emerging surplus of high bandwidth multimedia content and related services. This infrastructure will be critical to ensuring these emerging markets’ profitability.
