MPEG Industry Forum to conduct master class

The MPEG Industry Forum (MPEGIF) will conduct its "Advanced Video Services in Next-Generation Video Ecosystems" full-day master class April 15 at NAB2007.

The class will explore how new technologies are changing the way digital multimedia is created, compressed, delivered and monetized.

Featured keynote speakers include senior executives from Alcatel-Lucent, MobiTV, Telekom Austria and Professor Tim Wu from Columbia Law School, best known for popularizing the concept of network neutrality.

Each session will include an interactive roundtable panel with the keynote speaker and other panelists. MPEGIF will also provide an update of the forum's work in developing and promoting open MPEG standards and the MPEGIF Logo Qualification Program.
