Extreme sports mobile TV company Yamgo announced a partnership with software development company Tom Horn to enable Yamgo to launch a global cross-platform mobile video sharing service and the free mobile TV network. The new service enables Yamgo users to create their own mobile video pages, upload and share videos from their handsets or via the www.yamgo.tv website. In addition to free, ad-supported and user generated videos, Yamgo will also offer a premium content, featuring live broadcasts, mobisodes and downloads, distributed on a time-based subscription, pay-per-view, or pay-per-download basis. Yamgo has been tested in 25 countries, and is currently available in English, Slovak, and Czech languages.
“Yamgo.tv is initially focused on extreme sports content, due to Yamgo’s extensive catalogue of high-quality extreme sports content covering 26 extreme sports and exclusive world-first stunts, but also because extreme sports videos appeal to a global audience, cross language and cultural barriers and the short, sharp burst nature of the videos makes them an ideal category for mobile video consumption. Users can upload any genre of content and the selection of mobile TV channels will be broadened into complementary categories” stated Yamgo Operations Director Shaun Ellison.
