Ilan Weizman, VP Marketing at Surf Communication Solutions Video Going Mobile Video on the Internet has taken off in recent years. The rapid growth of online video has been driven by widespread broadband connectivity, a growing number of sites offering commercial video content, and the explosion of user-generated video (UGV) content. While online Internet video initially caught fire among younger users, it subsequently has moved into the mainstream market. Now video is ready to conquer the mobile arena as well. According to recent market study by Frost & Sullivan (2007), the number of mobile TV subscribers will expand rapidly to reach 180 million by 2010. And according to a research report by Berg Insight (2007), mobile media's share of total digital advertising expenditures worldwide is expected to grow substantially from less than 1% in 2007 to 7.5% in 2012. 'Mobile video” covers a wide array of value-added services cutting across multiple categories: ?? One-way streaming with optional return channel for interactivity – such as mobile TV and video on demand (VOD) ?? Application-to-person services – such as Web browsing, dating and chatting that includes video content and video ringback tones ?? Download (non-real-time) services – such as video ringtones and video clips
