Next IDATE's DigiWorld Summit
November 18 & 19 – Montpellier (France)

What do “open” concepts really entail (open source, open API, open mobile, open internet, open television...)? And what do they tell us about disruptive innovations, the way digital industries will be organised in future, about industry leaders, the new business models, changes in standardisation and IPR practices, the rules of competition, public policy priorities…?

• Open Innovation and Web 2.0: how do social networking and UGC players manage innovation on their platforms? What are the different models? What role for telcos?

• SAS, Cloud computing...: the role of Linux in new services and computing architectures

• Open Mobile and the mobile Internet value chain: issues surrounding opened OS, API, stores (for downloads), spectrum access…

• Open IPTV: managed TV vs. online TV offers

• Open DRM, global licences…: measures to counter media content piracy

• Open Net/Open Access: do we need Net neutrality legislation? What impact will it have on incentives to invest in new fixed and mobile high-speed infrastructure? What role for public money in the "stimulus packages"?

• Open telcos: which models (vertical integration, mutualisation, functional separation…) can generate a new profit cycle?

• Openness and competition: what are the new competition issues that need to be addressed?
