UGetMobile advances the state of the art in Web 2.0 services, by creating an Internet service that enables end-users to "get mobile" -use the Internet to create mobile accessible web-sites and mobile value added services such SMS (Short Message Service), MMS (Multimedia Message Services), blogs, LBS (Location Base Services), video and e-mail. UGetMobile enhances these services by creating deep interconnections with mobile Operator's mobile portals and Service Delivery Platforms (SDP) via OSA/Parlay; and UGetMobile will leverage the growth of key emerging Web 2.0 mobile services such as Google Local, Google Base, Google Mobile, MSN mobile and Yahoo mobile.
Mobile magazines will be magazines on a mobile computing and communication platform (in contrast to print magazines about mobile technologies), providing valuable, current multi-media content. However, there is a gap in the value chain between mobile operators and content publishers, hindering established small and medium sized publishers to enter the mobile market despite its commercial potential. A mobile operator publishing and entertainment platform enables the creation of a new category of mobile service called a mobile magazine. An m-Mag (mobile magazine) eco-system is a next generation mobile publishing service that is made available from a mobile operator’s portal, that is integrated with value added mobile data services and that uses the operator’s billing capabilities to charge consumers for access to the magazine. Using Parlay/OSA as an open approach, the m-Mag platform can integrate into an operator’s network using standardised APIs and is portable across different operator networks. A discussion of the commercial potential analyses the route to the market.
Abstract. The VidShare project develops a management platform for Peer-toPeer multimedia asset distribution across heterogeneous access networks, fixed and mobile, with Intellectual Property Management and Protection (IPMP). A key objective is to build an architecture that is interoperable with different content management and IPMP solutions. The project utilises MPEG REL as a rights expression language and works with the evolving MPEG-21 Multimedia Framework. The platform supports a number of business models including rights based personal multimedia sharing, distributed multimedia management for corporations, and the retailing of video content including the super distribution of content.
