Mobile TV trend-scouting
Do 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 innovation
Do 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 zone
What 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 devices
Which 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 or
Competitive?
Broadcast

Discrete Hybrid Converged Bypassed

Status quo in early adopters markets
What are the lessons learnt from first rollout cases?
In a nutshell
Mobile TV market dynamics are heavily influenced by geographical characteristics and
respective regulatory frameworks.
