Handset debugging specialist, WDS Global, has said that operators are preventing third-party mobile video suppliers from selling directly to their consumers. “Such providers are trying to stream their video content to 3G mobile phone users. In order to receive the stream, the consumer needs to download an appropriate Java based client…The catch is that the standard port addresses which such Java apps normally utilise are being blocked by mobile network operators. The motivation for this is to ensure that all video streams pass through the operator’s own portal.”
