New Xbox with exclusively downloadable content--so GameStop is going to be completely irrelevant like Blockbuster, especially once these game streaming services hit the forefront. #BCNMI

Following the Sony headphone class presentation, seems like Bose is expanding their hardware line with glasses/headphones. Confusing to me since comparable products like google glass failed for similar reasons like safety and lack of function. #bcnmi

Search engine data to drive journalism? Doesn't that seem a step behind predictive tools? Consumers want you to tell them what they're interested in before they're interested. #bcnmi

Spotify is at the mercy of music labels--another reason they're going beyond music with podcasts and turning in to an audio company. Podcasts won't solve the power dynamic with labels. #BCNMI

Media is changing media. Instagram handles are replacing exchanging phone numbers. Main reason: numbers are a security concern, but isn't giving sooo much information on your insta profile similar? #BCNMI theatlantic.com/technology/a…
When the streaming market becomes more and more saturated, it's important to stay differentiated. Interesting graphic on the offerings of each existing and developing service. #BCNMI

In addition to Anthony and Neils' talks on journalism and the decline in newspapers, 1,300 communities have lost local news coverage. They're not being replaced by digital... they're just dying. #BCNMI

Any takers for 50% of UMG at $40B? Google, Apply, Tencent, and Liberty Media are eyeing it. Makes sense, as music paired with any of those companies is a smart maneuver, but could a deal actually be reached? UMG is almost too massive. #BCNMI

Very timely article on piracy in the music industry. Charter did not want to lose those subs pirating content off their service. Services should be more accountable for their subs actions and not facilitating these habits. #BCNMI

The cord cutting trend is triumphing. We will see even higher numbers of cord cutters after Apple and Disney services go live. #BCNMI

Disney's empire is getting bigger and bigger. Is their footprint on the industry too big though? We could be heading towards a world where there are less than 10 major companies--Amazon, Apple, Alphabet, Disney, Coke, Microsoft, Facebook, etc. #BCNMI

Following the trend of voice assistants, now there's one that's genderless. Will people actually opt in to this? Either way, really cool collision of tech innovation and social change. #BCNMI

That's going to be a no from me, dawg. Obviously DirecTV wants to be profitable, but do they really expect people to pay $40+ for a service people are cutting the cord to? Especially when there are cheaper options? It's not worth it. #BCNMI

Hulu is really highlighting affordability by also lowering their partnership package with Spotify. So affordable and an attractive offer compared to getting just Netflix for $13-$16 monthly. I still don't seem them as direct competitors though. #BCNMI

These tech media firms are getting involved in the upcoming election but it seems like more of a political move than a necessity in the industry. We haven’t gotten to the point we need to break up Amazon, Google, or Facebook.

As media becomes more intertwined with our lives we see increasing regulations. Just as media can improve our lives it can expose individuals to greater harm, especially younger populations. #BCNMI

Crazy demonstration of the power of 5G. The reach of 5G goes beyond me being able to download movies faster. Powerful stuff. #BCNMI

UMG is getting artists to think ahead. Song creation and production is done with the user experience in mind--crazy how technology, like smart speakers, is changing the way music is consumed. #BCNMI

Really happy he could come to over class before retirement. I wonder what this will mean for Nintendo's future. #bcnmi

Better battery beats 5G in my book. The seconds quicker capability isn't worth it. I don't feel the need for faster downloads, especially if it decreases my battery faster. How will I use these downloads if I have 5% battery afterward? #BCNMI
