BCmoney MobileTV is digging its heels in and preparing for the coming seachange in the media distribution landscape, with a particular focus on web and mobile technologies.
With its unique revenue model, innovative ad units, and game-changing technology ideas, it is sure to be a major player in the coming transition from the Broadcast to Broadcatch, and, from Pay-per-View (PPV) Unicast to Peer-to-Peer (P2P) Multicast models for media distribution, each of which will be increasingly prevalent in the coming decade (2010-2020) and beyond.
The company is less than one year old but is already promoting a strong sense of Corporate Social Responsibility with its free advertising program for non-profit organizations and its planned live web/broadcasted fundraising event for the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation.
