From the paper, "This paper, a collaborative discussion by thought leaders from the IBM Media and Entertainment practice, will discuss why industry and market forces will propel media businesses to become more open to business partners, customers and consumers - opening content reserves and formatting, production processes, packaging and sales options - without opening the company to increased vulnerability. The paper begins with an executive summary, followed by a future scenario of the media and entertainment business as we envision it circa 2010. The next section discusses the direction of media and entertainment industry trends, followed by a section analyzing the implications of those trends. The paper concludes with our strategic recommendations for becoming the open media business of the future." (Spotted at E-Media Tidbits)
