Telstra has revealed the addition of almost one million new mobile services in the six months to December 2011, but Sensis revenues plummeted 24 percent in 12 months.
Motorola is to acquire privately-held TV on demand technology developer Broadbus Technologies of Boxborough, Massachusetts.
According to Motorola, Broadbus' key advantage is its solid-state server architecture based on the intelligent configuration and management of dynamic random-access memory (DRAM), which "uses less space and power than traditional hard-disk based technology, while providing performance, reliability and scalability improvements for video ingest, streaming, and storage."
Dan Moloney, president, Motorola Connected Home Solutions, said: "The addition of Broadbus Technologies will bring Motorola's video delivery platform one step closer to enabling [our] vision of seamless mobility by providing us with field-proven content management and delivery solutions. Service providers will be able to take advantage of a complete end-to-end seamless video experience enabled by Motorola technology to extend their customer relationships."
Broadbus Technologies was founded in 1999 and currently has more than 60 video-on-demand deployments with service providers worldwide including Comcast, Charter Communications, and Time Warner Cable. Financial terms of the transaction were not disclosed.
