Mobile TV

 

and video do not exist in isolation, but must be understood in the context of an eco-system of devices and content, that inform take up and behaviour around mobile TV and video. In the first section of this report we provide an overview of the digital TV, internet, mobile phone and mobile internet markets in Italy. Comparison data with other countries are provided to contextualise data.

Proceeding this, we look at mobile TV broadcast via DVB-H, covering business models, usage data, user projections to 2015, and insights. Mobile video is then examined, and we investigate usage and user projections to 2015, and provide comparison data.

In comparison with other European countries, take-up of mobile TV and video in Italy is fairly impressive. Despite this, growth has been significantly less than predicted. We therefore undertake an examination into hindrances to take-up, and discuss content, preferences around mobile video and TV viewing, long form and short form content, downloading, cost, and technology. We provide recommendations throughout.

We follow this with a section around monetisation in which we provide revenue projections to 2015 alongside an examination into fee based services, advertising and targeted advertising. Proceeding this is a section around DVB-S. We then finish with a section that covers further recommendations to arise from this report.

· User forecasts for mobile TV to 2015
· User forecasts for mobile video to 2015
