An expert in mobile services, digital content delivery, and IP licensing, David Frerichs is President of NRI Media, Inc., providing radio programming to the global Indian diaspora through its Radio NRI service. Mr. Frerichs also owns Tuner2.com, the artist-centric Internet radio portal.

As Founder, President, and CTO at iM Networks, he led the curve in 1999 with broadband appliances, content aggregation, and targeted ad insertion. In 2002, he joined Coding Technologies to start their US subsidiary and craft their mobile success in Japan, Korea, and the US. Strong adoption of Coding Technologies' MPEG-4 aacPlus audio in these markets played its part in the eventual acquisition of Coding Technologies by Dolby Laboratories in 2007 for $250M.

Frerichs is well versed in global media and Internet business issues, 3D user interfaces, and defining products in an ever-changing marketplace. Using patents he holds in virtual reality human-interface design, he started his first company, Future Vision Technologies, to develop consumer VR products; a company he later sold to Fujitsu Microelectronics.

Throughout his career, Frerichs has applied an entreprenureal approach to achieve a range of successes. These include contributing to the first high-volume mobile music download service (KDDI's EZ Chaku-Uta Full), releasing the first Internet radio appliance (the Philips FW-i1000), helping Cosmo Player reach 25% of all Internet users, working with NASA JPL to bring the Mars Pathfinder landing to the Web in 3D, initiating the first trans-pacific VRML broadcast, and founding the Web 3D Consortium.

With his experience and deep understanding of the digital media marketplace, he has been a featured speaker and panelist at CTIA, NAB, CES, Digital Hollywood, Siggraph, and others. Frerichs holds a BS degree in Computer Engineering from the University of Illinois in Urbana/Champaign.
