Session Description:
-----------------------------
  For the first time in history over 50% of consumers in industrialised  
cultures worldwide have the capability of listening to music whilst on 
the move - either  through the use  of their mobile phones or on 
dedicated MP3 players such as the Apple  iPod. In this stream we wish 
to discuss the social, aesthetic and commercial impact  of the rise of  
mobile music consumption:

We wish to encourage contributions that discuss:
  • The changing nature of the ‘social’ that might be implied by the 
personalised  environment created through the use of mobile 
technologies.
  • The potential for artistic and aesthetic production and consumption 
through the use of these technologies.
  • The changing nature of consumption patterns - collaborative and 
individualised.
  • What lessons might be learnt by the industries involved in terms of 
their response to new technologies, new markets and new patterns of 
consumption.

Submissions in the form of research papers (max 10 pages) and practice 
talks (max 1 page) are solicited via the conferences online submission 
system at the
http://www.mgovernment.org/confadmin/confadmin.php
