Mobitv® Introduces Mobile Television Advertising Platform Jeep® Brand Is First to Reach the Mobile TV Viewer with Branded Channel and Mobile Advertisements Contact: Diane Morgan MobiTV® Introduces Mobile Television Advertising Platform Jeep® Brand Is First to Reach the Mobile TV Viewer with Branded Channel and Mobile Advertisements December 11, 2005, Emeryville, Calif. - MobiTV®, the global leader in television and digital radio services for mobile devices, today unveiled its mobile television advertising platform for brands to reach the mobile consumer. MobiTV's platform enables brands to deliver video advertisements as part of the live TV video streams delivered to mobile phones. Starting with ad substitution for "local avail" advertising segments, the platform will also enable brands to reach mobile consumers through branded entertainment channels and direct response capabilities. "We believe that providing more tailored advertising to the mobile consumer is good for our customers and good for the brands trying to reach them," said Dave Whetstone, MobiTV's Chief Marketing Officer. "Most people have their mobile phones with them all the time. The flexibility of our platform enables our advertisers to create compelling and entertaining ways to reach their customers, while keeping a great consumer experience at the forefront." The first to take advantage of this new medium is the Jeep® Brand. MobiTV is running Jeep ads and has introduced a Jeep channel showcasing multiple episodes of Jeep's short serial called the Mudds, featuring a family who is always covered in mud. "MobiTV is about getting the right content to the right consumer, right now," said Jeff Bell, Vice President – Chrysler and Jeep. "As we continue to innovate as a marketer, MobiTV provides a new platform that is all about choice." MobiTV has 500,000 subscribers and provides live TV services and content to subscribers of major carriers in the U.S., UK, Canada and Latin America. By subscriber count, MobiTV is equivalent to the 13th largest cable operator in the U.S. Ad insertion is a common practice by cable companies where specific advertisements are tagged as replaceable in local markets. MobiTV is able to take these "local avails" and offer them to major brands looking to reach a national audience. About MobiTV MobiTV Inc., formerly known as Idetic Inc., is the first global mobile television and digital radio service provider for the more than 2 billion mobile phone users worldwide. The MobiTV service is available in the U.S. through Sprint, Cingular, Alltel and several regional carriers; in the United Kingdom through 3 and Orange UK; and is now available to Canadian customers through Bell Canada, Rogers and TELUS Mobility. The Emmy® Award winning service now reaches more than half a million subscribers and offers many popular TV channels from content providers such as MSNBC, ABC News Now, CNN, Fox News, Fox Sports, ESPN 3GTV, NBC Mobile, CNBC, CSPAN, The Discovery Channel, TLC, The Weather Channel and others that deliver cartoons, music videos and comedy.

  • When Mobile TV Meets the Internet and Social Networking by Marie-Jo
    The Future of Mobile TV: When Mobile TV meets the Internet and Social Networking By Marie-José Montpetit, Natalie Klym, and Emmanuel Blain 1 Introduction Over the last few years, online video services and telco IPTV have rocked the traditional model of television. As content delivery moves to an all-IP platform, connecting old and new providers to a growing array of increasingly personal and multi-purpose devices over fixed and mobile networks, the TV experience has become extremely versatile. Mobile TV is not immune to these upheavals, and is itself a disruptive force. In fact, it will soon make little sense to think of mobile TV as distinct from TV in general. Rather, it will be an integral part of an increasingly rich TV experience. This chapter provides a vision for the future of mobile TV as it evolves from standalone to integrated service. This shift will be examined in context of the more general transformation of television, with a focus on the recent integration of social networking. Our vision will thus build towards community-based approaches that harness the power of individuals, from their technologies to their behaviors. We begin by redefining mobile TV, and then give a brief overview of the key trends related to the television infrastructure and industry landscape. From there, we outline the mobile TV ecosystem of content, connections, and devices in more detail, and then demonstrate the growing importance of service features in this new environment, particularly in terms of integrating mobile and social TV. We would like to point out up front that many of the scenarios described in the paper are fraught with issues related to usability, technical difficulties, business models, and/or legalities.

  • Before the Federal Communications Commission Washington, D.C. 20554 in the Matter Of: Petition for Rulemaking to Amend the Land
    Before the Federal Communications Commission Washington, D.C. 20554 In the Matter of: ) ) Petition for Rulemaking to Amend ) RM the Land Mobile-TV Sharing Rules ) in the 470-512 MHz Band ) ) PETITION FOR RULEMAKING BY THE NATIONAL PUBLIC SAFETY TELECOMMUNICATIONS COUNCIL The National Public Safety Telecommunications Council (NPSTC) submits this Petition for Rulemaking recommending that the Commission amend its rules which address land mobile/television sharing criteria in the 470-512 MHz band. The current rules were adopted over 35 years ago based on analog television receiver performance at that time. The transition from analog to digital television (DTV), scheduled to be completed by June 12, 2009, provides the opportunity to amend the rules to provide greater flexibility in the eleven markets where land mobile sharing is allowed. As digital receivers are less susceptible to interference than analog receivers, NPSTC’s recommended rule changes can be implemented without negatively impacting television viewing. The result of such modifications will provide significant benefits to public safety and other land mobile users of the band and allow more efficient use of the scarce spectrum resource. The National Public Safety Telecommunications Council The National Public Safety Telecommunications Council (NPSTC) is a federation of public safety organizations whose mission is to improve public safety communications and interoperability through collaborative leadership. NPSTC pursues the role of resource and advocate for public safety organizations in the United States on matters relating to public safety telecommunications. NPSTC has promoted implementation of the Public Safety Wireless Advisory Committee (PSWAC) and the 700 MHz Public Safety National Coordination Committee (NCC) recommendations.

  • Mobile Television Services Are Described
    ESPOO 2003 VTT PUBLICATIONS 506 VTT PUBLICATIONS 506 Watching television from a wireless pen tablet or pocket-sized terminal is interesting in many situations. Public and private transportation vehicles, and public places are potential environments for mobile television services. Even in homes, mobile television handsets are interesting, both as a personal Mobile television - technology and user experiences. Report on the ... television set and as a tool for establishing closer interaction with the television programs. This publication presents results about people´s real interest in mobile television. The results come from interviewing a large number of persons and from building and trialing a prototype system. A total of 293 people took part in the interviews and the trial. The trial system combined several types of wireless networks in a 4G fashion. It took digital terrestrial television broadcasts from the air and delivered them over the Internet to mobile terminals in hot-spot areas covered by Wireless Local Area Networks (WLAN). Two kinds of terminals were used - a pocket-sized PDA and an A5- sized tablet PC. In the field trial the user could watch almost the entire program content of the three leading Finnish TV channels. The user was also able to access all programs transmitted during the previous week from the media server (TV-Anytime feature). This publication is intended for producers and distributors of television content, as well as for people in the handset device industry; it is also useful for students and people who are generally interested in the future of television. The publication starts with a review of television usage patterns and early experiences of digital television and mobile television trials around the world.
