Wmode Powers Digital Media Services
Share:
CTIA, ORLANDO, FL, - March 26: Wmode, the leading provider of digital media distribution services under the ClearMode brand, announced today that they will increase their focus on providing solutions to broadband and multi-network service providers. Wmode, already a provider of managed services to quadruple play operators such as Vidéotron, will more aggressively pursue multi-network service providers with its ClearMode offering. The ability for quadruple and triple play operators to manage, promote, bundle and retail digital media and content services across all networks to all subscribers is an unparalleled benefit that Wmode offers.
In a converged world, with the advent of IMS, mobile broadband networks, VoIP, IPTV, and massively increased Internet bandwidth, consumers decide which device and network they would like to use to access specific content. Watching TV on a laptop or a mobile phone is commonplace today. Wmode's strategy now places the company at the center of this convergence, leveraging its experience in managing and distributing a full range of digital media and content for service providers around the world.
"Wmode's view of the digital media market is that of convergence. Consumers have come to expect the same services regardless of device or network. The capabilities of today's mobile devices take advantage of all the features and functionality that exists in the broadband world and the delivery network is irrelevant from the consumer's point of view." stated Emanuel Bertolin, CEO for Wmode. "The solutions in our industry currently address individual networks, broadband or mobile. This won't continue to work for much longer. We see many of our existing partners needing a service offering that can facilitate the merchandizing, advertising, distribution and payment of digital media across all their networks."
As part of the new focus, Wmode continues to supplement its consolidated content catalog with rich digital media. Partnerships with industry leading content providers for full length music and video are a key objective for the company. Wmode currently has an industry leading partnership program for content. The move to rich digital media and services will enable Wmode to offer a turn-key solution to multi-network service providers.
