Oxford Offers 3G TV Course

Oxford Universitys CPD (Continuing Professional Development) Centre   is running an intensive one-day course in 3G/DVB-H (Digital Video Broadcasting – Handheld) Mobile TV in November.
The course is aimed at TV broadcasting and mobile telecoms programming, content and services experts, and business planners in the emerging space on the fourth screen. The organisers say it is  non-technical in nature, and requires no prior knowledge of cellular telecoms or TV broadcasting.
The course will cover Mobile TV, as well as other multimedia services, including live streaming, music video, gaming, and interactive services. It will explore the mobile video and TV environment, migration and integration of content to mobile, made-for-mobile TV content, and the impact on the TV, mobile and advertising industries. 
It will be led by James Parton, who was involved in the Oxford 3G/DVB-H Mobile TV trial, and Tomi Ahonen, a 3G consultants and author of four books on the subject of 3G and Mobile TV.
“The video experience on mobile phones will not replicate TV or the Internet says Ahonen. Mobile TV is a new mass media, the seventh, and video content and services will be as different as TV was from radio; as different as the web was from print. We are already seeing radical new formats and opportunities that are vastly more compelling than anything that can be accomplished in the traditional broadcast formats for TV, from user-generated content like SeeMeTV to interactive advertising, to enhanced reality-TV formats.”
The course takes place in Oxford on 13 November. It costs 345, or 295 if booked one month in advance, i.e. today.
