Xobile, a world leader in the distribution of adult movies on mobile phones and wireless devices, has succeeded in delivering super high speed adult content to Third Generation (3G) network consumers who use standard Internet browsers on their mobile device.
Xobile, which provides two-minute film clips excerpted from more than 4,800 adult movies, has succeeded in consistently streaming its videos at 124 kilobits per second, which is near the limit most wireless networks today use at their current capability level.
“We have demonstrated that we’re not only the first in the U.S., but we’re the fastest,” according to Harvey Kaplan, who heads Xobile, the mobile arm of Adult Entertainment Broadcast Network (AEBN), a global leader in adult video-on-demand (VOD). As he prepared for Xobile’s exhibit at the summer Internext conference in Hollywood, Fla., Kaplan noted that 3G phones handle much higher speeds than typical GPRS phones. “We’re keeping pace with the highest speeds at which American telecommunication networks are providing service to their customers,” he said.
“We believe that video content delivered over mobile devices is in its infancy and it will grow rapidly,” Kaplan said. “Just as the adult sector has led the way in advancing so many new technologies – from the VCR and DVD to subscription-based Internet sites – it is also the early adopter in mobile video, and we are leading the way.”
Kaplan noted that the proliferation of 3G phones that can receive streaming video and multimedia content is growing rapidly as the new wireless standard promises increased capacity and high-speed data applications up to 2.4 megabits per second. By 2009, according to Visiongain, 3G penetration will reach 88 percent of the world. The global market for adult content on wireless networks, which accounted for $611 million 2004 and will be worth $875 million by yearend 2005, is projected to grow to $2 billion by 2009, according to Visiongain.
