 Happenings at Mobile World Congress 2010
Origin Digital recently had the opportunity to share its technology and solution sets with a broad assortment of international players in the mobile services market. As an exhibitor and workshop presenter within the Accenture Pavillion at the Mobile World Congress (MWC) in Barcelona, Origin shared not only its advanced IP broadcast management solutions and player frameworks, but also its broader strategy for accelerating the consumption of video on mobile devices - while protecting carrier networks from network burden due to backhaul, and performance issues related to congested Internet gateways.
With more and more mobile users accessing both live and on-demand video content on any number of rich content enabled devices - led mostly by Apple's iPhone - carrier networks are getting bombarded with traffic that their data networks were really not designed to handle. To understand this, consider that an hour of typical web browsing on a mobile phone consumes about 40 megabytes of data, while an hour spent watching fuzzy YouTube videos will consume upwards of 180 megabytes, and a live event, like a match or concert, might consume up to 300 megabytes or more.
The cumulative effect of proliferating devices and growing video consumption habits among mobile users is a "cratering" of carrier networks - which impacts all data services for all users, and commonly contributes to what is still perceived as an inferior viewing experience. It doesn't help matters that for the vast majority of content being consumed, the carriers have no revenue stake - and with the popularity of unlimited data plans, this just adds up mounting cost, as carriers are forced to contemplate massive network upgrades, just to be competitive. Most major networks are feeling this pain, and many of them are publicly crying "uncle".
