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.
European digital music distributor, 24-7 MusicShop is bragging about being the first digital service provider world-wide to deliver music videos simultaneously to fixed and mobile devices. Technically that may be true, but Aussie IPTV company ReelTime has been doing this for movies since last November.
24-7 MusicShop specialises in online and mobile distribution of digital entertainment. It provides the service for major retailers, telcos, software and hardware manufacturers, record labels and media companies.
It claims that the new service will enable this customer base, via their existing web and WAP stores to deliver music videos simultaneously to online and mobile accounts. "This unique feature allows users to purchase and download music videos on their mobile phone, whilst receiving a full screen resolution copy of the music video delivered to their online account, where it can be downloaded to a PC or Media Centre," the company says. A new application , 24-7 MediaXpress, will automatically download and synchronise the music libraries between mobile phones and any PCs in accordance with the usage rights provided by the labels.
"This milestone marks 24-7's final step in providing a complete range of digital music products including music videos, full length audio tracks and ringtones via web and mobile," according to Frank Taubert, CEO of 24-7 MusicShop.
"Rather than working with several suppliers on music related services, our customers can now provide hassle free, state-of-the-art one-stop shopping to their users. This will be a huge benefit for our customers in regards to offering a variety of products and at the same time minimising administrational costs." He claimed.
In November, ReelTime in conjunction with Universal Pictures, launched a service to Australian broadband customers where movies can be downloaded, on the day of the movie is released to DVD, stored on a PC, on a portable device and burned to a DVD and owned.
The system operates via a unique three-copy secure burn model. By logging onto www.reeltime.tv consumers can access two Windows Media files, downloadable to PC/laptop and a portable device (compatible with Windows Play4Sure technology) and a third digital file that allows the movie to be securely and legitimately burned to DVD, containing full DVD functionality.
