Switching gears today and attending Light Reading’s Future of Broadband conference. Gotuit’s CEO was on the early panel. Most of this gets very technical but there has been some interesting talk on net neutrality.

I did steal away for a few hours in the afternoon to see the end of Jarvis et al on the Creating the New Television panel at Streaming Media East. Talk focused on interactivity and the low cost of self-distribution as well as the segmentation of media. Some insights from that:

Wallstrip costs about $2,500 an episode to produce.

It is possible to make a six figure living on self-produced online content.

The great thing about WebTV is that it’s delivering content that TV can’t and offering it more quickly.

Jarvis thinks “p2p is gonna come in and make an incredible difference.”

Ad technology in the form of dynamic insertion and video overlays will continue to make a larger impact.

A streaming media governing body is needed and it is only a matter of time until it’s reality.
