Jonathan Sendzul, of Moonlight Mobile, creators of the TV2Mobile catalogue, said,
“Video has proven a hit with mobile consumers all around the world, both as a streaming 3G service and as downloadable clips on 2.5G networks. However there’s not a huge range of content out there which is simple, accessible and aimed directly at the consumer. With TV2Mobile we have chosen a number of areas we think will prove interesting to a broad cross-section of the mobile audience. All of our content has been created and compiled specifically for use on mobile, so the quality is exceptional. As the demand for mobile media and entertainment grows, video is going to be a key driver and we’re delighted to be able to offer our TV2Mobile catalogue to partners worldwide.”
