Airchord Televentures is in the process of finalizing several Mobile TV deals reports the Telegraph. Deals are being finalized with media companies including MTV, B4U, and India TV, operators Airtel and Hutch, and Handset manufacturers including Nokia, Samsung and LG for embedded applications. The service is expected to launch around October 2007, priced at Rs. 100 per month for around 50 channels, and there are plans for international channels and video on demand. AirChord is looking at a revenue share model of between 40-60 percent. The company makes lots of predictions in the story here.
The service is GPRS based…isn’t live video streaming too tedious to watch via GPRS? Strangely, the story also claims that DD’s Mobile TV plans have hit a snag.
I also went to check on JuiceUp, the AirChord application that had been launched by One97 Communications for audio streaming. See where http://signup.juiceup.in/ takes you. Ideally, it should keep customers on the juiceup.in domain.
