Global Mobile TV and Video Get Real
Will we all tune into our phones at the same time?
Infonetics Research's "Mobile Video Devices, Services, and Subscribers" report published May 9, 2007 found that revenue from mobile video is set to increase.
The firm estimated that service provider revenue from mobile video services is expected to triple to nearly $ 200 million worldwide in 2007, after already growing 317% from 2005-2006.
The number of paying subscribers worldwide for 2010 was projected by Infonetics to reach 46 million.
Mobile video involves shuttling video content from a server to an individual handset on demand. Mobile TV works more like broadcast television, with TV tuners embedded in mobile phones.
A separate study by Screen Digest focusing on mobile TV estimated that associated revenues for that technology would reach Eur4.7 billion, based on 140 million subscribers worldwide in 2011.
David MacQueen of Screen Digest said that there are good reasons why carriers will focus on mobile TV over the next several years.
