Fox — using its MyFox.tv site — has plans to sell mobile TV in Mexico and throughout Latin America with the motto “La tv que sigue”, “the TV that keeps going”.
The normal figures are trotted out to claim there’ll be a market: there were 30,000 downloads of the first program designed for mobiles, Conspiracy, and by the end of the year there will be 190 million mobiles in all Latin America — 8 mobiles for each cable TV subscription. Of course, the percentage of these mobiles that will be able to show mobile TV is not mentioned…
In addition to TV MyFox will also include ringtones, games, wallpapers and an application to send SMS branded with icons from shows such as 24, The Simple Life and Buffy.
El Universal mentions that the price for these services will range between 3 and 45 pesos.
