Briefly Noted: Updates, Observations and Trends
 http://BBHCentral.com/report/backissues/Report0906_3.html

 - Each month, we collect miscellaneous happenings, studies, trends or
   observations you might have missed. This month's briefs focus on
   market forecasts, interactive TV in the UK, 4G patent holders and
   more.

TelcoTV 2009 -- The Changing Face of TV
 http://BBHCentral.com/report/backissues/Report0906_4.html

 - They wouldn't say it this way publicly, but telcos offering TV
   services are trying to lock in their customers, just like the cable
   guys. When they talk about "any content, on any screen, anywhere, at
   any time" they really want all the services to come from them--a
   sensible goal from their perspective, and it got lots of air time at
   this year's Telco TV. We also saw networked consumer electronics,
   innovative program guides, 3D TV, TV Everywhere, plus interactive and
   on-demand services.

Deja Vu All Over Again
 http://BBHCentral.com/report/backissues/Report0906_5.html

 - It's amazing that people don't seem to learn from history. AT&T
   is the latest victim of this "historical amnesia." They
   were shocked to find that a small number of smart phone
   customers--many of them iPhone owners--are driving a large percentage
   of their wireless data traffic.

Partners' Connected Health Symposium 2009 -- Moving To the Mainstream
 http://BBHCentral.com/report/backissues/Report0906_6.html

 - Is your interest in Healthcare focused on the Washington DC politics
   of healthcare reform? Successful use of connected health
   technologies? A deeper understanding of health care economics and
   sociology? Ideas on how to disrupt the current system? All that and
   more were explored at the 2009 Partners Connected Healthcare
   Symposium in Boston. The bottom line: real progress is being made,
   but the transformation will take time.

Upcoming Conferences
 http://BBHCentral.com/report/backissues/Report0906_7.html

 - Even as 2009 winds down, the industry is busy scheduling appointments
   for the world's largest consumer technology trade show--the 2010
   Consumer Electronics Show. We've been trying to build our stamina for
   this gargantuan show, but walking on treadmills is scant preparation
   for the miles of show floor that need to be visited at this event.
