IDC Selects 10 Wireless Entertainment Companies to Watch in 2007
Wireless entertainment is one of the most dynamic and innovative segments of the wireless industry today. Players in the mobile entertainment space are consolidating at a rapid pace, which in part, is strengthening the dominance of the industry's top players.
However, the supply chain remains full of smaller companies. IDC believes some of these companies have the potential to make a fairly significant impact on the future direction of the wireless entertainment industry.
In this study, IDC highlights Loopt, Medio Systems, Millennial Media, Mobio Networks, Nellymoser, ooober, PeerMe, ShoZu, The Hyperfactory, and Trilibis Mobile as the 10 emerging wireless entertainment companies to watch in 2007.
IDC research suggests these companies are some of the most interesting and innovative small companies in the wireless entertainment sector, yet few in the broader telecom industry have heard of them.
These 10 emerging players share a similar recipe of innovative technologies, creative approaches to the market, and market experimentation.
"Some of the small companies highlighted in this study focus on areas such as mobile advertising/marketing, mobile search, mobile community, and mobile user-generated content and services, which have become some of the U.S. carriers' top priorities to help drive data usage and revenue," says Julien Blin, research analyst for IDC?s Wireless and Mobile Communications."
