I met that nice Tiger Woods the day after he won the Masters. Well, me and 300 other delegates at the Accenture Global Media Conference. He was charm itself, but reading between the lines it would seem that Tiger loves winning so much it hurts, and that team games like the Ryder Cup are for wusses. However, it was clear from this gathering that networking – in its human sense – was essential in the converged world.
The theme of the conference was Convergence, Myth or Reality? – the question mark was there because, as an industry, we have only been debating these issues for 10 years, and the c-word was severely discredited by dotcommery. But the reality is that hundreds of billions of dollars have been poured into the total transformation of the consumer experience of bandwidth-hungry services, whether those are handheld monitoring devices for nurses, high-def video on demand, or the seven megapixel cameraphone.
