I like positive reports, don’t you? It’s nice when you can read a report which says, via big numbers, that something is going to be very successful. I just happen to have one of those reports right here! ABI Research says that as Mobile TV services expand over the next 5 years, the total number of subs will rise to 462 million – now that’s a big number!
Some other notable takeaway titbits from the research are:
- Asia-Pac to be the overall leading in adoption of mobile video services
- China and India will contribute to the total due to population mass
- South Korea and Japan will lead, with some countries in Western Europe, and the USA too
Of course these juicy morsels are part of a larger (paid-for) report – but it’s nice to have re-inforced that Mobile TV is gonna do so well

Ben Robinson
Ben is a 10+ year veteran of the Mobile industry – starting his career when SMS was a still a relatively new concept for most people (!), he has now consulted on everything from bleeding-edge Mobile content, to the next-gen accessories you might view it on. As a result he has a broad and deep knowledge in numerous areas of Mobile – from network operators to device vendors, to infrastructure and middleware vendors (not to mention content delivery) – and has worked for companies in all of these areas! He is based in the UK, a hotbed of activity for mobile, and recently became a father for the second time – as oppose to in his younger years when he was happy spend time tweaking all manner of mobile devices to 'nth' degree, he now looks for services and hardware that provide the most efficient, compact, and reliable improvements to his already manic life! It’s his opinion that Mobile solutions should be there to help to make your life better – if a particular solution (be it service or device) isn’t doing this, he believes you need to ask the very important question of why you continue to use it... His focus at IntoMobile is mainly on Mobile content, services, and infrastructure, particularly as regards the UK market – and with the occasional look at devices. Additionally, using his extensive experience in the industry, he will provide commentary on the industry at large, with regular (and hopefully thought-provoking) articles.
