Tubearoo mobile video beta

"This is a great day for Tubearoo as we begin the official beta launch of our Mobile Video Service. The mobile video market is a tremendous market that is expected to grow rapidly over the next several years, with eMarketer predicting that mobile video revenues could reach $5 billion around the world in 2011," said Paul Medvedev, Tubearoo's President and CEO. "Tubearoo endeavors to continually improve our product offering and bring unique and innovative services to our users. With our Mobile Video Service we will be pursuing a market of immense proportions," said Medvedev. For the beta test, up to 20 participants will be selected to subscribe to Tubearoo's Mobile Video Service.

Currently planned to have a subscription fee of $9.99 per month, Tubearoo will send subscribers a daily popular video from Tubearoo. No upfront payment processing is required, as the monthly fee will be billed through the subscriber's cellular carrier. The company is launching this service through a third-party provider, enabling Tubearoo to provide this service without any direct relationship with the underlying cellular carriers. This arrangement allows Tubearoo to leverage the third-party provider's preexisting relationships, technology, and experience, in order to deliver a robust service with more efficiency.

The service has received approval for use with some major cellular carriers, and the company is currently waiting to see if it obtains approval of the service for two final cellular carriers. In the interim, the company is launching this beta test for use with the currently approved cellular carriers. The company noted that there is no assurance that it will be able to obtain approval for use of its Mobile Video Service by the final two cellular companies for which it is awaiting approval. The company also noted that approval for use for cellular carriers does not necessarily indicate an "endorsement" or "sponsorship" of the service by such cellular company.
