EMERYVILLE,
CA – February 28, 2007 –>MobiTV, Inc.,
the global leader in mobile and broadband television and music services,
today announced that it has exceeded two million paying subscribers
worldwide, more than doubling its fan-base in less than one year.
“The recent hype in the mobile media space isn’t
all that surprising given the new contenders looking to enter
the marketplace some time later this year,” stated Dr.
Phillip Alvelda, CEO, chairman and co-founder of MobiTV. “But
nothing tells an unequivocal story of success quite like a
subscriber base soaring past two million and growing faster
than ever before.”
MobiTV continues to offer the industry’s most comprehensive
solution featuring an unmatched content line-up with more than
100 television channels worldwide, and nearly 40 channels in
its US offering including many of the very same live television
stations available in homes via cable; support for nearly all
commercial network standards including existing operator networks
as well as future 4G networks such as WiMAX and DVB-H; the
largest collection of supported mobile and broadband-connected
devices; unlimited channel capacity; the first-ever interactive
advertising platform complete with m-commerce capabilities;
the industry’s highest video quality running real live
television direct from the networks at up to full NTSC resolution
and as high as 30 frames-per-second.
“After more than
three years of delivering real live television and video
on demand services commercially for millions of customers,
on almost every type of mobile or broadband network, MobiTV
has quickly become the industry’s go-to resource for
mobile content delivery,” said Paul Scanlan, president
and co-founder of MobiTV. “There’s nothing
more satisfying than helping our carrier partners
monetize their newly deployed, multi-billion dollar 3G networks with
a next generation platform that seamlessly transitions for
4G, WiMAX and beyond.”
