Google One Pass, which enables publishers to set the terms for access to their digital content, will be examined at Digital Media Europe, WAN-Ifra's new London conference next month.
Madhav Chinnappa, strategic business development manager of Google News and Books, has joined the programme of the conference, to be held at the Hilton London Olympia in April 11-13.
Chinnappa will make one of the first industry presentations of Google One Pass, which allows consumers to pay once for digital content viewed across all devices, from web to tablets to smartphones.
The system, which gives publishers information about subscribers, allowing them to maintain the all-valuable relationship with their customers, is widely seen as a response to publishers' concerns about finding new online business models. Google takes a ten per cent fee from content bought using One Pass.
The programme will include a Digital Trend Day, a Mobile Media Day and an iPad and Tablet Day. The three conference days can be booked individually or as a package. Full details can be found at www.wan-ifra.org/dme
