More than seven million subscribers are now tuned in to MobiTV, the industry leader in mobile content and services delivery.
MobiTV today announced the latest milestone for its live mobile television and video-on-demand service, now streaming billions of minutes a year to the largest subscriber base in the industry. Available on more than 350 handsets across 20 carrier networks, including Sprint, AT&T and Alltel in the U.S., MobiTV has pioneered a new market for wireless entertainment services since its launch in November, 2003.
Wow! Check those stats out – and here’s the interesting/killer thing – this isn’t broadcast Mobile TV we are talking about, its mostly streaming in unicast mode across 2G and 3G networks – well, well, what does that tell us about broadcast Mobile TV – could it be the final nail in the coffin? I’m a fan of these stat-attacks, as from time to time, the simplest of figures can give a dramatic view on the industry. Oh, and of course, well done MobiTV!

About The Author
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.
