How are how major networks navigating the unknown waters of online video distribution? What are some of the forces driving their decisions? John Edwards, CEO of Move Networks and a frequent broadcast industry speaker, will address these questions at an upcoming session that forms part of the two-day program of iTVCon - Internet Video Conference & Expo 2007 being held in San Francisco on November 12-13, 2007.

Edwards has more than 25 years of experience in the technology industry, including 12 years in key executive positions for high- growth companies. This experience includes serving as Chairman and CEO of I-Link Corporation (enhanced VoIP services), President of Coresoft (object-oriented business systems for telephony and data), President of Digital Research (owners of DR-DOS), and Executive Vice President of Novell (enterprise networking).

Career accomplishments include leading the first delivery of VoIP technology to the market and implementing the first file and print server and operating system (NetWare). So far in 2007, Edwards has spoken at a number of industry events including the prestigious Montgomery Conference, AlwaysOn OnHollywood, the Forbes Meet II conference, and now iTVCon - Internet Video Conference & Expo.

Edwards' session is called "The Monetization Mandate: How Major Broadcasters are Changing Their View of Streaming Video" and it is one of several sessions at the conference with the issue of successful monetization at its heart.
