I'll be giving a keynote talk at the Packet Video Workshop in Lausanne on Nov 12-13, 2007.  The title of my talk is "The Life of a Packet".  More specifically, I will be focusing on "The life of a media packet" and "the life of a packet as it relates to mobile & media experiences".

I have my ideas on what to talk about, but I'd love to hear your ideas as well.

What would you expect/want to be covered in this talk?
What would you expect/want to learn from this talk?

Thanks in advance for your inputs!

UPDATE!

It's been quiet... so I'll frame this up a little more. Here is the talk abstract.  I'd love to hear your thoughts!

The Life of a Packet for Delivering Mobile & Media Experiences

People are mobile, and people interact through sight and sound.   Multimedia communication can be used to provide mobile & media experiences that connect people with each other and with their environments.  In these systems, media is delivered in packets.   The use of media packets raises a number of questions that the research community and industry ha ve been tackling for decades.

How should media packets be transported across a packet network?
How can one deliver and adapt media packets  for diverse media clients?
How does one protect media packets in a packet network? 
What impact do globally distributed, immersive media environments have on media packet delivery systems? 
What role does context play  in next-generation mobile media experiences?

In this talk, we will consider these questions from the perspective of  a user experience and from the perspective of a media packet.

One more update: Here is a link to the post that describes my keynote talk.
