Jha will join Esser for a candid conversation on the future of cable telecommunications and discuss long-term approaches that will help operators meet the needs of residential and business consumers over the next five years or more. The discussion will address the evolution necessary for cable networks to meet consumer demands, as well as the role that will be played by wireless.

"Consumers today desire content anywhere, anytime and on multiple devices," said Sanjay Jha, chairman and CEO, Motorola Mobility. "Cable subscriptions encompass much more than TV shows and movies in the living room, now expanding to home automation and security, live TV streaming to tablets, social TV capabilities, and smartphones becoming one's remote control. It's important that operators, vendors and programmers work together closely to develop, articulate and execute on the long-range vision that will help us meet consumer needs both inside and outside the home as well as fulfill their desires to access the content they want."
