Panel Title: Preventing Cord Cutting
Date and Time: Wednesday, September 18 at 3:30 – 4:15 p.m. ET
Location: Museum of Jewish Heritage, New York City, New York

The interactive session will explore the "cord-cutting" phenomenon and whether it presents a threat to the pay-TV industry. Panelists will discuss how various ecosystem players are countering by integrating TV Everywhere, Video on Demand (VOD) and place-shifting technology into set-top boxes and other devices like the dongle. For example, MobiTV recently announced collaboration with Marvell Semiconductor, Inc. to enable its Digital Rights Management (DRM) solution and Media Player on Marvell's award-winning ARMADA® 1500 powered set-top boxes. The company has also been a driving force to personalize the user experience with second screen technology like contextual awareness and profiles. Session attendees will receive information around how personalization and true multiscreen in and out of the home will be major factors in the next evolution of TV.
