Austria's mobile market is fiercely contested by three network operators and a growing number of MVNOs and resellers. The competitive environment has led to relatively low ARPU for operators and some of Europe's lowest tariffs for consumers. The 3G networks have seen impressive growth in subscriber uptake, largely at the expense of existing GSM offerings. The incumbent's mobile division, A1, has expanded to Eastern Europe to incorporate lucrative neighbouring markets. Mobile broadband has shown extraordinary growth in recent years, while there is a strong interest in mobile TV streaming. Competition has led to significant market consolidation, with T-Mobile buying tele.ring in 2006 and 3 Austria buying Orange Austria in early 2012.

In this report we examine Austria's mobile market, providing historical and current subscriber statistics, an overview of key operators, an analysis of emerging technologies and data services, and forecasts for ARPU and 3G subscribers to 2015.

Key developments:

LTE to be available to a quarter of all Austrians by 2013

Research and Markets: Australia - Mobile Media - Mobile TV 2012 Study Provides an Overview of the Mobile TV Market in Aust

Tue, 01 May 2012 12:20:24 -0400

DUBLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/cmg78t/australia_mobile) has announced the addition of the "Australia - Mobile Media - Mobile TV" report to their offering.

While there has been much hype surrounding mobile TV in Australia, the concept developed by the mobile operators has so far still not taken off. Operators were given a wake-up call with the introduction of the iPhone, as this started to separate content from carriage. Suddenly all kinds of applications, including video-based and offerings by the Pay TV operators are being available independently of the mobile network operators.

From now on new developments will revolve around the devices and their applications, rather than the mobile network operators as the operators really to need to focus on the provision of infrastructure rather than the provision of services where they do not have the specialisation.

However, mobile web browsing still grows exponentially, with a large share of that activity on the back of the rapid growth of smartphones including the iPhone, Android and tablets and BlackBerry devices. These mobile devices require more and more data bandwidth as the mobile apps that are being developed for the mobile market also allow mobile TV and video to be streamed. Unfortunately the mobile operators are having trouble keeping up with these mobile broadband demands. The mobile TV viewers are watching content off-net and now also this includes recording and viewing of Free-to-Air (FTA) TV, further diminishing the average revenue per user returns of the operators and their portals.

In this report we provide an overview of the mobile TV market in Australia with analysis on the marketing strategies, and also provide some background information on the technologies and players behind the service.

Companies mentioned in this report include:

Vodafone, 3, VHA, Optus, Telstra, Yahoo!7 and FANGO

Hot topics and technologies mentioned in this report include:

Mobile TV, FTA TV, video, spectrum, streaming.

PARIS & TOKYO--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- NTT DATA MSE, a subsidiary of NTT Data and one of the leading system integrators in the world, and Expway, a mobile broadcast solution provider, announced today that their joint solution powers the next-gen Mobile TV service in Japan, launched 1^st April 2012. The solution is being integrated in ten’s of Android mobile devices for this year only and it is expected to reach in 50 million devices in the next 5 years.

Expway’s mobile broadcast middleware manages on the device the catalog of all live TV events (EPG) and on-Demand (ECG) in a compressed and efficient mode. Thanks to the solution, NOTTV subscribers will have a large variety of fresh content with no download or buffering time, wherever they are. By paying a monthly subscription fee, end-users will get a myriad of content to their fingertips: Hundreds of premium movies, TV series, music, e-books, newspapers, games and magazines are cached on their devices, always in a crystal clear quality.

By using Expway’s solution, telecom operators are able to offload the heavy video traffic from their 3G network to the mobile broadcast network. The technology allows telecom operators to cope with the exponential growth of mobile video and still deliver the best possible quality of experience.

“We have selected Expway's mobile broadcast middleware after one year of technical evaluation. Their mobile broadcast middleware has proved to be the most robust and efficient solution on the market.

NAB Show to Feature Super Session Exploring the Future of Mobile Digital TV

Wed, 07 Mar 2012 12:10:20 -0500

WASHINGTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- NAB Show will present a Super Session on mobile DTV titled "Mobile Video and Mobile TV - Beyond YouTube," presented by NAB Labs. During the session, scheduled for Monday, April 16 in Las Vegas, industry experts will offer their perspectives on the future of mobile video and mobile broadcasting.

Consumer desire for media content anywhere and anytime continues to tax telecom wireless networks' ability to deliver video via their one-to-one architecture. As a result, wireless companies are imposing data limits on services that have raised concerns among content providers and consumers. On the other hand, broadcasters' one-to-many architecture has an edge in terms of delivering video to mass audiences with few constraints, an advantage that could serve the industry well in terms of meeting consumer expectations.

Peggy Johnson, who heads global market development for Qualcomm, will deliver the session's keynote address. At Qualcomm, Johnson leads efforts to commercialize new business opportunities, nurture early stage initiatives and develop strategic relationships. In a previous role as executive vice president of Qualcomm's Americas and India division, Johnson played a key role in the global development and adoption of 3G wireless broadband technology and services in those regions.

Moderated by Jim Burger, member, Dow Lohnes PLLC, the session's panel will include Mark Aitken, VP Advanced Technology, Sinclair Broadcast Group; Peter Siebert, executive director, DVB Project Office; Jack Perry, CEO and founder, Syncbak; and Cedric Fernandes, VP technology, MobiTV.

Panelists will examine various global technologies and potential business models for future mobile TV use in light of consumer demand. Discussion topics include the effects of data limits put in place by wireless providers, how broadcasters can leverage home grown technologies to their advantage and how the broadcast industry can meet consumers' changing expectations.

Research and Markets: USA - Mobile Market - Analysis, Statistics and Forecasts - 2011

Tue, 04 Oct 2011 13:10:13 -0400

DUBLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/65abba/usa_mobile_marke) has announced the addition of the "USA - Mobile Market - Analysis, Statistics and Forecasts" report to their offering.

US mobile subscriber numbers increased to over 300 million by early 2011. Although penetration levels are reaching saturation, mobile data revenues increased by around 23% year-over-year to December 2010 and are expected to continue to grow at very high rates between 2010 and 2015. Increases in data ARPU are largely offsetting the ongoing decline in ARPU for voice services. Mobile broadband was underpinned by the deployment and upgrade of 3G networks during 2009 and 2010. The launch of 4G LTE services by two mobile operators in late 2010 and the expected launch of 4G services from a further two providers in mid 2011 is expected to provide an even greater stimulus of growth in mobile broadband during 2011.
