Mobile TV: Analysis & Forecasts

A diverse set of players are entering the mobile TV space using a wide range of strategies, technologies, and revenue models. Parks Associates cuts through the noise and hype, penetrating into the core issues to predict the ultimate winners and losers in the space. This report provides an in-depth understanding of the mobile TV market dynamics as well as an analysis of consumer demand.

“Many obstacles to mobile TV are often underplayed, including spectrum availability, conflicting business interests, and pressure from ‘over-the-top’ providers that are attempting to bypass the cellular operators,” said John Barrett, director of research with Parks Associates. “All of these factors make for a messy and confusing market to compete in.”
