MobiTV begins European re-transmission

Platform 'beachhead' to pave the way for renewed Euro managed content offering.
MobiTV says the rollout of its Optimised Delivery Server (ODS) in Europe will eventually allow it to offer more comprehensive and ambitious streaming TV services.
The company, which pulled out of Europe 18 months ago (having managed mobile TV services for the likes of 3 and Orange), is now taking steps to establish new relationships with operators and broadcasters alike.
Speaking to ME, MobiTV's European managing director Anders Norström said: "We are taking on Europe again, but this time with a more solid platform that will help us trampoline into the market.
It’s a fresh start and we expect to ramp quickly.”
The company is striking out from its Stockholm engineering facility, which Norström says has enabled it to address one of its main issues from the first foray into Europe, which was that technical support for its customers was always an eight-hour time difference away in the Californian HQ.
