The Battle to Lead OTT Services


(PR Web Via Acquire Media NewsEdge) (PRWEB) April 14, 2014 Giles will discuss if app developers have completely reshaped device usage and how wireless carriers are going to re-strategise to avoid falling into the back seat. The Open Mobile Summit will map the emerging trends in the converging mobile, media and Internet ecosystem. It brings together C level executives worldwide to engage in a dialogue to devise new business rules and opportunities for the post mobile era. The event will look take snapshots from across the entire value chain, to asses how they plan to put the consumer experience of mobile at the centre of all innovations. Giles Corbett started Libon for Orange Vallée, a disruptive innovation centre at Orange, 3 years ago. Prior to this, he was advisor to the BBC on mobile, CEO of Eccosphere, a mobile social network start-up, CEO of In-Fusio, a past leader in mobile games and Services Marketing Director for SFR, a French mobile operator. He has been a non-executive director for start-ups, including ScreenTonic a mobile advertising company and a consultant at Arthur D. Little. He is already part of the TED community having talked on the importance of privacy at TED Global in 2010.



Ina Vaduvescu, project director of the Open Mobile Summit said 'This discussion about OTT services is incredibly pertinent right now. There is a perception that wireless carriers have been seen to loose out, and their business models are faltering as a result. However we have seen partnerships between carriers and new innovations emerge, and we mustn't forget that wireless carriers control the data. We can only imagine the advantage this will give them to devise OTT services that fit directly into consumers' lifestyles. However what they are planning to do is yet to be seen – but it's worth keeping a close eye on." This discussion is only a part of the mobile discussions to take place at the Open Mobile Summit. A cross pollination of experts allows attendees to learn and network beyond their niche in this ecosystem where each vertical effects the next.
