The mobile video services market has great potential but is very complicated and will take quite a few more years to completely sort itself out, reports high tech market research firm In-Stat.
“We’ve identified six competing vectors of growth that need to be understood by service operators before they make large infrastructure investments. Each geographic region is developing differently, and all technology approaches are in play,” says Gerry Kaufhold, In-Stat analyst. “The opportunities appear to be huge, but the current level of fragmentation in the industry, and in the markets, may make it difficult for anybody to reach the economies of scale required to make mobile video services a truly worldwide phenomenon. We’re more likely to see geographic regions developing their own local approaches, and we will even find some country-specific versions.”
