SECOND ROUND! |
|
 .  Following the success of the inaugural Contenido Movil Americas (CMA
I), the second edition will expand and take over upon the first,
addressing the business of producing, distributing and marketing mobile
content to a Latin audience.
The mobile content industry is changing and evolving at a rapid pace,
so we feel that holding this event twice a year is appropriate. This
was confirmed at Contenido Movil Americas I (March 15-17, 2006), and
upon a subsequent survey it was apparent many attendees and exhibitors
supported the idea.
As new forms of mobile content get rolled out across the region and
barriers are overcome, companies should be looking at ways of extending
their audience across boundaries, both from the US into Latin America
and from Latin America into the US. Contenido Móvil Américas II (CMA
II) will provide a singled out focus on the US Hispanic market, which
is the most likely to use phones to take pictures, send text messages
and surf the Internet according to consulting firm Telephia.
This year is an important one for mobile content as the 2006 FIFA World
Cup is expected to drive uptake of all forms of sports related content,
including TV and video, message alerts, games and ringtone anthems.
Likewise, as TV novelas and new shows like Latin American Idol spread
throughout the region the creation of a strong market for correlated
mobile content is expected.
Examples of such efforts is Sprint launching a Spanish-language mobile
video service while Verizon Wireless signing a deal with
Spanish-language broadcaster Univision to target US Hispanics for the
2006 FIFA World Cup. Movida, an MVNO targeting US Hispanics, launched
in Los Angeles last year. Mexican operator Telcel has launched a
service with MobiTV, and competitor Iusacell has also launched a 3G TV
service.
Among the lessons learned from CMA I is the potential for exports from
the south to the north, and we will study this interaction at the
second Contenido Movil Americas II.
Furthermore, the increased interest in mobile marketing campaigns and
strategies targeting Hispanic markets both south and north of the
border will provide plenty of insight opportunities at CMAII!
OUR STRATEGY
-To increase the awareness of the event among those mobile operators
which were not present at CMA I. Also, we are pursuing more
participation from those US operators which are investing massive
amounts of money in US Hispanic content.
-Another key aspect of conference discussion is exploring the diverse
technological choices that facilitate the flow of production and
delivery of content in a practical, timely and cost-effective way among
the members of the mobile ecosystem. This will be addressed at
Contenido Movil Americas II, which will focus on the technological
choices and challenges available in specific Latin American markets,
including the prepaid environment, carrier technologies and Latino
MVNOs.
Of strategic importance is the way Contenido Movil Americas will
stimulate interactions between businesses throughout the Americas.
Listed below are some of the players that will thrive due to the mobile
content explosion in Latin America:
