Mobile TV trend-scoutingDo we really have a latent demand for mobile broadcast?

The TV medium is a bigger application globally than telephony; the daily amount of time spent watching TV is far more significant than that spent on mobile services.

Mobile TV value innovationDo we really have a latent demand for mobile broadcast?

Innovation without value tends to be technology-driven, market pioneering or futuristic, often shooting beyond what end-users are ready to accept and pay for.

Value Creation through content segmentation Value Proposition through innovation

The gray zoneWhat are the key regulatory issues?

Pressure Points

The impact of regulation is steadily increasing within the mobile industry realm as part of many emerging new media access platforms.

Spectrum Allocation and acquisition

of scarce frequencies difficult in specific markets

Different regulatory bodies in geographical markets (even within same country e.g. Germany)

Some countries demand proprietary standards for broadcasting (e.g. China).

Content Regulatory issues

concerning unicast content (e.g. VoD) vs. broadcast transmissions

Public vs. commercial broadcasting

Digital Rights Management issues regarding distribution, protection and royalties for copyrights

Protection of consumers

Commercial Free to air networks might

prohibit charging for service (e.g. South Korea)

Coverage exigencies might forbid profitable network rollout

Non discriminatory conditions between different distribution platforms

Mobile TV devicesWhich technology options could embrace carriers to deploy Mobile TV?

Outstanding issues

The challenge here is to find the balance between device cost, performance, form-factor and style depending on the target customer segment.

Battery Technology and power management are two crucial aspects to determine the success of Mobile TV.

Integration of new DVB-H, DAB or DMB tuners and channel decoders represents a significant challenge both in terms of energy consumption and components costs.

Application processors, RAM memory, GPS chipsets, large and high resolution colour displays are vital for high quality of service and end-user acceptance.

Ease of use and large choice of different mobile TV ready handsets are essential for the momentum market take-up

Strategic options from mobile operators perspective What are the applied business models?

Mobile TV business models

Discrete business model, the mobile operator chooses to provide mobile TV services over its own cellular network.

Hybrid business model, the mobile operator is lead player in the mobile TV provisioning scenario, which includes some level of interaction with broadcast network services.

Converged business model, the mobile operator and other stakeholders in the value chain cooperate to take full advantage of the complementary nature of cellular and broadcast networks.

Bypassed business model, the mobile operator is sidestepped altogether by the broadcast carrier, but still provide an uplink.

Rationale

Four main scenarios can be played out for the provisioning of mobile TV services.

Mobile Networks

Complementary orCompetitive?

Broadcast Networks

Discrete Hybrid Converged Bypassed

Business models

Key contribution Minimal involvement
