Television is changing faster than ever before. While large sized screens are carried into living rooms it is now possible to take TV content with you on the go. Viewers are tearing up the schedules and planning their own viewing through personal video recorders; broadcasters are making their content available on the web in both pay and advertising supported models while mobile operators are offering live TV to handheld devices. Join us to discuss the next generation of television. This time, it’s personal.
