On the front page of the Irish Times today is a story about information overload as the world's Digital Content rockets.
Presidents' Club Trustees and members from both sides of the Atlantic are actively engaged in the leadership of the NI Digital Content Initiative which is exploring the exciting potential for Belfast and Northern ireland to become a worldwide hub for Digital Content.
Only last week a number of us met up in New York with some of the industries brightest stars. Steve Masur, a 'rock star' in the world of Entertainment Industry Lawyers is working with some of our talented legal eagles to flesh out how we are going to 'monetize the opportunity'.
Steve is penning a book on ISP Licensing that will launched in Frankfurt in 2010 for the International Association of Entertainment Lawyers.
Meanwhile other PC bright lights are working to make the most of Project Kelvin which connects Northern Ireland to USA via a £28M fiber optic cable giving direct high speed massive bandwidth connectivity.
It is often said we are the 51st State of USA, well now we are physically attached! It must be stressed, Northern Ireland has one of the best IT and telecoms infrastructures in the world and enjoys a distinct advantage over our cousins in the Republic of Ireland and GB.
Now we must MONETIZE our advantage!!
