THE CHALLENGE
As
competition for advertising dollars intensifies, a key
issue facing Web authors, artists and publishers is how to finance the
digital presentation of content, including words, sounds and
pictures. Meanwhile, consumers are looking for a simplified method to
find and pay for information no matter where it's
located.
THE MISSION
The mission of IIPC.NET is to achieve
consensus on an
infrastructure for Internet information
payments which is easy to use, allows sharing of users and content,
maintains ownership of user bases for publishers, and is capable of
supporting multi-media copyright-protection mechanisms.
THE PROJECT
IIPC will
enroll
publishers, financial-service
organizations and audience owners and develop for them a detailed
understanding of exactly what
online online consumers want and need -- and what and how they will be
willing to pay for it. IIPC will complete market research into the
readiness and requirements of consumers to pay by the item for information
they acquire.
A limited-enrollment
roundtable summit
conference is
planned by the IIPC for June 16-18 at Boston, Mass.
Attendees will including publishers, executives of
financial-service and technology companies, government, academic,
consulting and association experts and researchers.
