TV Guide Mobile ESG

"The market for mobile TV is poised to explode with more than 350 million customers by 2011 and mobile video service subscription revenues worth billions of dollars annually. To capitalize on this market potential, wireless carriers must find ways to deliver subscribers video content from a variety of networks and in a variety of formats on a single mobile device. This content and network diversity, coupled with factors such as small screen size and complex, difficult-to-navigate menu structures can directly impact consumer up take and impact operator revenue potential for these services. As a result, the market is in particular need of advanced Electronic Service Guide solutions."
