Europe, North America, and Asia Embroiled in Complicated Mobile Video Market Reports In-Stat.SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. -- While Mobile Video Services are a hot topic with great potential, the market is very complicated, and will take quite a few more years to completely sort itself out, reports In-Stat (http://www.in-stat.com), a high-tech market research firm. Mobile Video Services combine cell phones, broadcasting, Pay-TV, satellites, and the Internet. "We've identified six competing vectors of growth that need to be understood by service operators before they make large infrastructure investments. Each geographic region is developing differently, and all technology approaches are in play," says Gerry Kaufhold, In-Stat analyst. "The opportunities appear to be huge, but the current level of fragmentation in the industry, and in the markets, may make it difficult for anybody to reach the economies of scale required to make Mobile Video Services a truly worldwide phenomenon. We're more likely to see geographic regions developing their own local approaches, and we will even find some country-specific versions." Recent research by In-Stat found the following: * Handsets are only one way to receive Mobile Video Services. Personal Computers (PCs), Portable Media Players (PMPs), Navigation Systems, and other devices are all in the mix * Mobile Internet Refers to gaining access to the Internet using a lightweight, handheld device. See Mobile IP, PDA, smartphone and mobile TV. Data Services can deliver video, creating a "bypass" to Pay-TV versions * Disruptive approaches include: WiFi, WiMAX, WiBro, and "Synch & Go" services * In-Band Cellular Mobile Video services deliver good quality video, but eventually their bandwidth will become constricted con·strict v. con·strict·ed, con·strict·ing, con·stricts v.tr. 1.
