Mobile TV: Business Models and Opportunties
Television is already a mass media and is also currently made available through the Internet Protocol (IP). Marrying the two most popular services in the world may sound like a great idea but there are still several issues which must be carefully addressed before mobile TV becomes a safe investment.
Who is going to pay for the network deployment What will be the underlying business model Are appropriate regulation policies necessary How new regulation may affect the market What are the opportunities for mobile operators, broadcasters and content owners There are currently no straight answers to those questions but several options exist. They must be deeply investigated in order to make appropriate decisions for mobile TV to become successful.
The purpose of this report is to offer an understanding of the fundamental aspects of the mobile TV market past present and future with regards to the technology choice and local context. This report also analyses the mobile TV market from the views of different players in the value chain.
Key findings:
The mobile TV market will be worth over €4.4bn in 2011 in Asia, North America and Western Europe combined
Subscription business models will dominate, generating more than 90 per cent of revenues in 2011
The most impressive growth will be experienced in North America where the broadcast mobile TV market is set to grow by 350 per cent between 2008 and 2010.

Although free to air services drive customer growth in Asia, the business model lacks proven monetisation methods, therefore undermining its deployment in other markets.
