LAGUNA BEACH, Calif. -- Internet giants, armed with a new breed
of chatbots, are stepping up a war over messaging services that
increasingly hold the key to controlling customer
relationships.
But these technology trendsetters are missing a chance to tailor
services to a large audience of low-income people or those in
unconventional households.
These are two of the main trends highlighted in a detailed
review of the tech-and-media landscape by technology strategist
Michael Wolf on Tuesday for WSJDLive, The Wall Street Journal's
global tech conference. Mr. Wolf, a onetime Yahoo Inc. board member
and president of MTV Networks, now runs New York-based consulting
firm Activate Inc.
His 177-slide presentation describes a fast-changing landscape
that will get harder for advertising-supported content companies
while enriching digital gatekeepers such as Alphabet Inc.'s Google,
Facebook Inc., Apple Inc., Amazon.com Inc., and Microsoft Corp.
