Panelists will examine the business processes and deals whereby these line-ups are aggregated and distributed, and the backend infrastructure issues that need to be resolved in order to enable their distribution. Among other things, they will attempt to answer such questions as how rights issues are resolved, how deals with CE platforms are made and structured, how non-traditional programming offerings and services are marketed to the consumer, and how they are monetized."Panelists included:Frank Besteiro, Head of Business Development, AOL VideoMatt Durgin, Director of Smart-TV Content, LG ElectronicsMaitreyi Krishnaswamy, Director of Interactive Video Services, Verizon FiOS TVStuart Lipson, Principal, Leap Media Group (moderator)Tara Maitra, GM of Content and Media Sales, TiVoTom Morgan, CEO, Net2TVKevin Nelson, SVP/Group Planning Director, McCann EricksonEli Weisman, VP of Interactive TV, Trailer Park
