I hope Booksellers will not be like the Camera retailers and wait until the last minute to see this opportunity. I see the youth today using technology over bricks and mortar to purchase.

The video interview with the four publishers was excellent. I, too, noticed the absence of booksellers, and would like to know of any initiatives from them, like the idea of having a 'cover' on the shelf and scanning the barcode gives access to the digital file of the book. Interested to see what comes up on this blog. Found the Wellington seminar very useful in giving a picture of where things are about now. The video interview with the four publishers was excellent.

My understanding is there are several technologies that could provide widespread wifi-type coverage that could ride on the coattails of this fibre-based network. We need some competition to the cellular networks to make mobile data more accessible, affordable and fast. Maybe this is a time to be raising this issue?

Very informative, and as Martin noted with Neale Pitches presentation, inspirational. It certainly helped with my e-publishing plans. See you on Linked-In. Great seminar in Wellington.
