Publishing in the Tablet Era

Many newspaper and magazine publishers were slow to move onto the Web, losing untold billions of dollars in circulation and advertising revenues. Now they are rushing to welcome e-readers and tablets. Will their digital efforts succeed this time?

Challenging the Kindle and the iPad

What are the devices that will challenge Kindle’s first-mover advantage and Apple’s marketing clout?

Beyond the Book

Tablets will revolutionize many industries. Health care, gaming, and video distribution are just some of the markets that will experience disruption.

The Role of the Regulators

What happens when consumers start carrying around ever larger numbers of tablets, e-readers, and smart phones? How will the FCC’s proposed wireless regulations, its new National Broadband Plan for more bandwidth, and the controversy over net neutrality affect investments in and adoption rates of new devices and accompanying digital content?

 

Advertising in the Tablet Era

What’s the business model for digital content on mobile devices? Who controls access and placement of ads, and what are the value metrics for this new form of media? 

Meet the Apps

If content is king, apps will drive sales of new digital devices. What are the compelling applications that will drive adoption?
