3 first with mobile video streaming in Sweden and Denmark
November 10, 2003
3 Scandinavia, owned by Hutchison Whampoa (60%) and Investor (40%), said
customers in Sweden and Denmark can watch streamed video news in their
mobiles. The news in Sweden are just like before presented by Tidningarnas
Telegrambyrå (TT), and the news in Denmark are presented by TV2. The difference
is that instead of downloading the clip, the customers can now play it
directly from 3s net.
"With the streaming technique we see that the customers get a better
user experience. Streaming means that a video clip is played directly
in the mobile instead of first being downloaded and then played. This
fits very well with news clippings and similar material that the customer
may want to see directly, and not want saved on the memory card of the
mobile", says Chris Bannister, CEO of 3 Scandinavia and added "Music,
comedy clips and all other content that the customer may want to save
in the mobile is downloaded just like usual."
Mobile streaming of video content has previously been tested in Japan,
South Korea and in the United States of America. In Sweden and Denmark
this service is only possible for 3s customers, since the service demands
the high capacity 3G-network to function.
Just like before 3 chooses a pricing model with fixed prices for video
consumption. A streamed news clip with a length of between 30 seconds
to two minutes cost 5 SEK.
"For us it is most important to offer a simple model for pricing.
There fore it is very clearly stated how much each news clip costs to
stream or download", says Chris Bannister.
