MobiTV, a provider of comprehensive managed services that
deliver live and on-demand television and related media content across mobile
devices, tablets, personal computers and other Internet-enabled consumer
electronics, announced that during the month of September 2011, consumers
viewed more than 167 million minutes of mobile television on MobiTV-powered
services.
This is the highest total for any month in MobiTV
history. Of note, 65 percent of the minutes viewed were live programming.
The viewership numbers demonstrate continued consumer
interest and demand for live mobile content, including one-time live events
such as President Obama’s inauguration and this year’s royal wedding, and
popular seasonal events such as college football and the NFL season.
The company’s scalable technology platform is designed to
deliver live television and on-demand video services to millions of concurrent
viewers. MobiTV’s operational experience enables their teams to quickly meet
the expectations of customers during extreme conditions, including high
profile, heavy volume, and peak-traffic live events.
“This milestone validates our technical platform and
our focus on delivering live television optimized for mobile devices,”
said Charlie Nooney, CEO, MobiTV.
“Last month’s data further demonstrates our operational excellence
as we continue to deliver high-quality content and support live events across
multiple networks, devices, and operating systems,” Nooney added.
MobiTV is the exclusive national provider of mobile
television services for AT&T U-verse Live TV, NFL Mobile on Verizon, Sprint
TV and T-Mobile TV, among others.
