Why ?

What are the Drivers ? Continuing search for market growth

New revenue streams, new applications, maybe ‘Content Is King’ ? TV looks like the ‘killer app’

“250m customers in 2010” (ABI Research) “80% of consumers would >$15 US/m”-Vodafone/Nokia survey

(Germany) “40% of subscribers interested”-Sony Ericsson survey

Varying Views… “A completely new range of handset & infrastructure products” -

manufacturer “I want to keep control of my core content” – today’s broadcaster “An opportunity to secure new revenue streams” – today’s TV

broadcast distribution player “I’m not sure I want all my customers standing watching TV on

their phones instead of making phone calls” – mobile operator

Business Models - InteractivityTwo Industries – Two Cultures

Very Different Industries Telecom Operators & Broadcasters have very different

backgrounds, assets, experience and expectations Perspectives on Converged Services

Both industries for some time have believed broadcast-telecom convergence offers significant new revenue streams

Neither wishes to release valuable own resources Both want to ‘own the customer’ ! Fundamental Lack of Trust in many countries

Options for Mobile TV Go it alone, Joint ventures, or Interworking

This has shaped our own philosophy Everyone can benefit, without delaying the market

Interworking - a different approach for every deal or common standards that work for all ?
