Da ist Musik drin:
Heute ist Helge Schneider ab 19:00 Uhr auf der Bühne des Sommergartens.
Am 6. September: PHILIPP POISEL & Band
Am 7. Septermber: die Neuen DeutschPoeten
Am 8. September: UNHEILIG
Am 9. September: HEINO
Jetzt fehlt nur der "Volks-IFA"-Segen der Bild-Zeitung...
Aber: ES GIBT ALTERNATIVEN - und was für welche:
DIE BERLIN-MUSIC-WEEK [1] vom 4. bis 8. September 2013 - sozusagen als regionaler Popkom-Ersatz mit dem First We Take Berlin Showcase Festival am 4. und 5. September 2013 dem WORD! Programm u.v.a.m. [2]
Oder aber: Ab nach Potsdam Zum M100 Sanssouci Colloqium [3]
Das Thema dieser ganztägigen und vollständig englischsprachigen Veranstaltung:
„Are the Media destroying Europe?” („Zerstören die Medien Europa?“) [4]
Oder: die Teilnahme an den Pressekonferenz-Zyklen, die traditionell diesen Messe-Vortag einleiten, heute mit einer Veranstaltung der Deutschen Telekom:
Hier ist viel von LTE und LTE + die Rede, und dass es alsbald in Ballungszentren die Möglichkeit gibt, downloads mit Geschwindigkeiten von bis zu 150 MB/sec zur Verfügung stellen zu können
Auch im Bereich der Tarife sei viel in Bewegung, sowohl für Neu- aber auch für die Bestandskunden. Details dazu aber nur auf Anfrage. [5]
Im Verlauf der Präsentation wird auch klar, warum RTL aus der DVB-T-Distribution ausgestiegen ist: alle Programme aus der Gruppe werden nunmehr als HD-Angebote im Telekom-Entertain-Paket eingespeist.
Das Ziel: 3 Millionen Kunden bis 2015. Interessant: auch nach dem Aufschalten der SKY-Angebote bleiben die Liga-Total-Kunden der DTAG bei diesem Anbieter. Im Gegenteil: 80% dieser Kunden buchten bei SKY noch andere Angebote dazu.
Und mit dem "Entertain-to-go"-Angebot soll das mobile Fernsehen zumindest im Wirkungsbereich des eigenen Haus-Wireless-LAN möglich werden. Dabei soll die "Entertain-Controll-App2 nicht nur die Steuerung der Programme erlauben, sondern auch die der Social-TV-Anwendungen.
Weiters werden neue Partnerschaften angekündigt:
— mit EVERNOTE Premium, und das für ein Jahr kostenlos
— mit SPRINGER, um Bild+ und DIE WELT samt Abrechnung über die Telekom-Rechnung. Und auch das zunächst kostenlos.
— PATH Premium, als alternatives soziales Netzwerk mit einem Angebot für 12 Monate kostenlos (die Kooperation mit twitter und facebook bleibt bestehen)
— mit der Amazon-Service-Sweet, incl. die dortigen Download-Angebote.
Gar nicht (mehr) zur Sprache kommt die MobileTV-App der Deutschen Telekom AG.
Aufgefallen ist sie dadurch, dass auf dem eigenen bei der Telekom erworbenen Samsung Galaxy Tablet eine Aktualisierung für diese App angeboten wird. Auf die dieses Angebot wir aber nach der Lektüre der ersten vorliegenden Erfahrungsberichte [6] verzichtet.
Oder, für alle die, die nicht an der Eröffnungsgala teilnehmen können, werden oder wollen, gibt es ein Panoptikum der folgenden Firmenpräsentationen bei den ShowStoppers @ IFA 2013 :
