So, what’s behind this surge?
First, mobile device sales have exploded in recent years
And so has mobile content consumption
But there’s a lot more to it.
Our viewing habits are driving the boom.

There’s another factor …
More widespread usage of 4G LTE
4G LTE is 10x faster than 3G
Boosted bandwidth allows for quicker uploads and better streaming quality
Those with 4G LTE are 33% more likely to watch mobile video than those without it. (source: comScore)
4G already has 14M customers in the U.S.

What about mobile video ads?
Mobile ad platforms are seeing explosive growth in mobile video ads
eMarketer predicts the U.S. mobile video ad market will reach $1.1 billion by 2015
Greystripe, a leading mobile ad network, saw a 300% growth in mobile video ad bookings from Q3 to Q4 in 2011

App users still only seeing one or two mobile video ads per day
So, the boom will continue… right?
It depends.

One hour of HD mobile video uses 14x the data of music streaming!
A continued mobile video surge will drive mobile data usage

So, carriers might have a lot to say about how quickly mobile
video grows Tiered data plans and
high data prices set by carriers could be a huge drag on mobile video
Question of whether cost efficiencies are found and if those savings will be passed on to consumers
At the same time, there are still a lot of smartphones to be
sold globally We are here
And many more tablets as well
We are here
So the future is definitely mobile
Also, other ‘data-free’ solutions may
spring up.
Dyle live TV app doesn’t use data
Dyle requires a built-in or attachable dongle/antenna to pick up TV airwaves
Backed by major broadcasters: Fox, NBC, etc.
Dyle poll finds audiences receptive to more ‘data free’ mobile TV
