I'm moderating a panel on Monday at The Deal's Convergence 2.0 conference in New York that will consider the future of digital communications. It's a broad topic and the panelists and audience will drive its focus. So, as a member of that audience and reader of this blog, please e-mail me or leave a comment below with the questions you'd like me to ask the six panelists:

Andy Moss, Senior Director of Technical Policy, Entertainment & Devices Division Media, Content, Partner Strategy Group, Microsoft
Eric Shepcaro, Senior Vice President, Business Development, AT&T
Ezra Kucharz, Senior Vice President, Digital Innovation, NBC Universal
John Montgomery, CEO, Mindshare Interactive
Robert Donahue, Managing Principal, Quadrangle Group LLC
Chase Norlin, CEO, Pixsy Corporation

As it stands now, some of the main themes of discussion will include:

• Future of digital communications landscape and the limits of convergence
• The market for IPTV
• Inevitability of convergence between media and telcos
• Opportunity for startups/VCs to disrupt the telco and cable industries, the network/film studios and large software and computing companies enabling convergence
• Monetization and advertising models for a multi-platform and device world
• Value brought to bear by search companies

I'm sure I'm missing some important talking points, so please let me know what turn you think the digitial communications conversation should take this Monday.
