11:10-12:00 China's IPTV Rollout
China has a tremendous opportunity to rollout IPTV and modern interactive digital content with the largest broadband infrastructure in the world. This panel will examine various IPTV worldwide deployments and seek to answer key factors for success relevant to China's still nascent pay TV market. What must IPTV operators do to build a sustainable business in the face of not just competing pay TV platforms but also hugely popular web 2.0 and P2P content?

1:10-2:00 China and the Olympics
Next year's Olympics in Beijing have already proved a powerful catalyst for innovation as China's broadcast industry prepares to deliver pictures for high definition, mobile and web-based platforms. Exposing Chinese media to modern business practices like commercial tendering for sports rights and professionally managed, integrated sports sponsorship is a powerful force for change. China's embrace of new media also provides a unique opportunity to modernize the industry.

2:10-3:00 The Future Face of Multichannel Competition
Digitization and triple-play bundling have forever changed the nature of multi-channel service competition. What was once a straightforward battle of basic tier pricing has become a game of 3D chess as voice, data, VOD, HDTV and mobile services come into play. This panel investigates how the foreign Pay-TV market dynamics can help foretell the shape of China’s developing Pay-TV landscape. We will also explore the relationship between bundles, advanced services, churn and ARPU to reveal both global best practices and strategies specific to the Chinese Pay-TV market.

Ben Reneker, Senior Analyst, SNL Kagan

4:10-5:00 China's Mobile Television Outlook
Three or more mobile TV services are scheduled to be launched in China ahead of the Beijing games, mirroring other mobile television launches around the world. We examine how the Chinese market is likely to unfold and what mobile standards - DVB-H, S-DMB or Qualcomm's MediaFlo - is most likely to catch hold.
