Press Release Body = Consumers are changing the way they access digital content,
demanding that they be able to access the same content through multiple CE devices
and platforms. The move to this form of content convergence is being driven by
factors such as a shift towards \"all-IP\" and embedded networking connectivity. But
what exactly does content convergence entail, and how will it affect your business?
Purchase this report to find out.

Consumers have long battled technology companies over content ownership, as the
communications market changes from device centric to content centric. It is the
content that interests the market and the ability to retrieve and use that content
across devices, networks and geographies that drives both innovation and profits.

\"Placeshifting\" has gained the most interest from the operator community, with
Vodafone launching its Mein PC service, which enables customers to use their 3G
phones to access multimedia files that are stored on their home PCs. Other
technology and commercial options also exist that enable consumers to stream content
across multiple devices. What are these options, and what is their potential market
impact? Should they be seen as opportunities or threats to mobile operators? This
