The problem
• Media companies and content owners can’t make any money.
• They have no idea how to monetize content
• Mobile phone companies are also struggling.
• They have no idea how they will re-coup the investment in 5G.
• The result - billions of dollars worth of pain every year in both industries.

The solution
• We take media and content that is currently not being commercialised
• We then use the underutilized assets within the mobile networks to both distribute and bill for this content
• The result – new revenue streams for both
parties
• Our platform sits between these two parties – doing something they can’t achieve themselves
