Mobile TV – Full Speed Ahead
Finland’s broadcast mobile TV is stuck in the quagmire of copyright dispute but the rest of mobile TV is moving ahead at full speed. The EU telecoms commissioner Viviane Reding has openly sided with DVB-H technology and demands that the European industry lines up behind it by the summer. Finnish operators are working together with the major TV channels to deliver what can be called on-demand-mobile TV over mobile phone networks. And most of the mobile industry is working on bringing internet-style interactivity to mobile TV and content.
On April 2nd MobileMonday Helsinki will look at today’s mobile TV. The Ericsson sponsored and André Chaker MC’d evening will have the following speakers:
Antti Kohtala, Ministry of transportation and communication, will talk and answer questions about the ministry's stand on broadcast and on-demant mobile TV.
Mikko Mattinen, Elisa, will report on Elisa's mobile TV survey results.
Kaapo Seppänen, Nelonen, will present a synopsis of Channel Four's experiences in porting TV-content to mobile platforms, as well as shed light on the company's upcoming activities.
Kristiina Kantola, VTT, will talk about researching Finnish mobile TV in 2007.
Esa Blomberg, Forum Virium
The doors to the open and cost free evening will open 17:30, the program will start 18:00. Food and refreshments available.

Betting on Mobile Gambling
The expectations for all kinds of mobile gambling are very high. Juniper Research predicts that the global market for all forms of mobile gambling (casinos, lotteries and sports betting) will grow from EUR 1 billion in 2006 to EUR 12.7 billion by 2011 in terms of gross value of bets placed.
Veikkaus will introduce new mobile products (just in time for Eurovision competition?). This is the department of Helsinki MobileMonday’s excellent MC André Chaker.
Fintoto has experience on mobile betting. In fact, Fintoto gave a presentation on this subject in a January 2004 MobileMonday. The mobile growth has not kept pace with Internet betting. Betting manager Pertti Koskenniemi will discuss the problems related to mobile interfaces. Fintoto and Veikkaus have also promised to treat the participants to some refreshments.
WinOne is a mobile gaming technology company. Martin Prantner, CEO and president, will explain what works in both online money gaming and mobile technologies.
Air Dice Games, too, believes in money and entertainment. Sami Mäkinen, CEO, says that by giving players more game interaction at all stages of the game, without removing the basic element of chance associated with money gaming, a whole new breed of money games evolves.

Riders of the Mobile Broadband
Riders of the mobile broadband. Finnish service providers are building wireless broadband with four different technologies: WLAN, 3G-HSPA, Flash-OFDM, WiMAX.
There will be fierce competition for users between operators. All technologies have their strong points but their coverage and functions overlap.
At MobileMonday evening we hope to clarify what are the strong points, where the technologies overlap, what are the drivers for each and what can be expected. We would also like to get an idea how this development is impacting different parts of the mobile community.
There will be a panel of fiercely partisan debaters who will defend their chosen technology and point out why it is better than any competing modulation method or protocol.
Airspan (the company that bought Radionet) will speak for WiMAX and Digita will be the champion of 450 MHZ and Flash-OFDM.
Prisma Research will lay the groundwork with a concise presentation of the Finnish wireless broadband market.
