Highlights
Although mainstream Pay TV operators are in the best position to drive the Mobile TV business, most Mobile TV initiatives worldwide have actually been driven by mainstream FTA TV operators or mobile network operators. There is a general lack of appreciation that Mobile TV is a paradigm in its own right that is different from mainstream TV.
Mobile TV is a high technology product that requires high technology marketing techniques to design its “go to market” strategy. Its promoters have altogether ignored this aspect of Mobile TV and have gone about applying FMCG strategies that are typically designed for mass consumer commodities, failing to build up traction in the marketplace.
As a portable “on the go” solution, Mobile TV will be watched in places where viewers are more likely to seek entertaining companionship. But being of personal nature, it may be watched anywhere and it is foreseen that Mobile TV will also find a place on desks, whether in homes or offices.
