Video on Mobile: The trend has already started!

During our presentation day, we discussed on the emerging trends. Streaming video on mobiles came out as one of the key trends in the next 5 years.

However, it seems the disruptive trend is already big. According to NY Times Article, millions of people have downloaded Justin.tv and Ustream's app to iphones for live video stream viewing. As for as Justin.tv is concerned, its iPhone app already contributes about 20% of the company's total new account sign-ups!

The question needs to be answered is on revenue sharing who gets how much share? Another challenge, as we discussed, is how to price the mobile plans? The All you can eat plans were focused on the Phone calls rather than Video on Mobile.

It remains to be seen how the TiVos and Hulus react to Justin.tv.
