Operators And Content Providers Mull Subscription Model

Televisionpoint.com: Indian mobile content space is maturing. Telcos and mobile content providers are planning subscription model to offer content such as chat, games and comics. Operators like Hutch and Reliance Infocomm are thinking on this lines. Mobile2win plans to offer comics on a monthly subscription basis, probably priced in the range of Rs 50 per month. Coruscant Tec is already offering Uncle Pai’s comic strips on the Tata Indicom network. However, Arun Gupta, COO of Mauj, feels, “India is still six to eight months away before we roll out premium content on a subscription basis as currently operators are sorting out billing issues.”
