Gone are the days when news traveled at the speed of the paper delivery boy or when professionals missed their favorite shows working late. Mobile devices are capable of receiving more than simple messages; now they can support everything from electronic versions of today’s newspaper to live color video feeds.
Modern mobile services are about more than staying connected to a network; they’re about staying connected to the world. Consumers are embracing this connectivity through a number of new media options.
Many of the most popular television shows have seen the potential for this medium and raise additional revenue through paid mobile voting and contest entries. Others increase their viewing audience by sending reminders directly to subscribers’ phones or allowing them to view episodes on their phones.
Consumers can pay for a single use or for the entire series and can download and view their purchased media at any time. With Fugen Mobile, purchasing these services is so convenient that some consumers may actually prefer accessing their media preferences through their mobile devices.
