MobiTV service receives Frost & Sullivan award

In the short period since its nationwide launch in November 2003, MobiTV has made a name for itself as the only live television streaming media product currently available in the U.S. market. “Despite being a relatively new market, initial feedback suggests that MobiTV is a viable and profitable business model,” said Frost & Sullivan industry analyst Mukul Krishna. “Frost & Sullivan expects it to be one of the fastest revenue-generating applications for the consumer wireless market in the near future.” Based on Idetic’s Far Reach™ technology platform, MobiTV was specifically designed to satisfy the demand for live streamable content from more than 150 million wireless subscribers in the United States alone. Currently available at a competitive price of $9.99 a month on the Sprint PCS Vision network, MobiTV subscribers can view a host of 20 popular news, sports and entertainment channels such as MSNBC, CNBC, NBC (Mobile), ABC News, CNET, Fox Sports, and The Discovery Channel. MobiTV currently supports more than 20 different phone models and is Java- and BREW-compatible for easy integration and launch. Idetic’s development team is working to take this service to the next level through higher frame rates, enhanced picture quality, and expanding the base-channel line-up.
