Velti, the leading mobile marketing platform and value added service provider, has announced that it has signed a partnership deal with Vantrix, a mobile content delivery company, and will be using its technology in its universal mobile video advertising platform.
This video advertising platform will deliver high quality video content funded by targeted advertisements to mobile users. These video clips are completely free as advertisers pay for them and mobile users can view these clips as many times as they want.
Velti has incorporated a unique technology from Vantrix in this platform which can identify the network conditions and the type of handset a mobile user has and adapt the video content accordingly. This is the reason why they like to call it ‘universal video advertising platform’.
Now, Velti is known for its mobile marketing platforms which are usually good, but this universal video advertising platform, as they like to call it, is very unique for one reason. The ads delivered with the video clips are extremely targeted. In fact, they take three different sets of data into consideration to make sure the ads are rightly targeted.
They are
1. Details from mobile users like age, gender, locality, income range, and so on.
2. Behavioral and contextual data which is provided by the personalization engine from Velti.
3. Carrier, network, and device performance characteristics from Vantrix.
Combining these three sets of data, the platform targets users pretty accurately and delivers highly relevant, highly targeted ads.
This, I think, is a very good example of targeted advertising. Using so many parameters, you can easily break down people into several groups and categorize the ads to be delivered accordingly. Such ads usually stand a good chance of getting clicked by the users, which is exactly what the advertisers want.

If you are a San Diegan, you can watch live TV right on your mobile phone from now on. How does that sound?
Verizon Wireless has come up with this service which helps you watch TV shows in real time in your mobile phone. Verizon uses Qualcomm’s MediaFlo technology to bring this service to your mobile phone. Incidentally, San Diego happens to be the 58th market to get Verizon’s V Cast Mobile TV service.
Verizon thinks it can attract a lot of subscribers to its live TV service as it offers a variety of networks like NBC, CBS, MTV, FOX, ESPN, and Nickelodeon for users to choose from. The service will cost you anywhere from $13 to $25 and it gives you the choice to watch live TV shows from all the aforementioned networks.
In my opinion, Verizon’s mobile TV service is good enough to attract some subscribers. I think it is way better than watching downloaded video clips on your mobile phone. It’s live TV and people can watch their favorite news channels, sports channels, finance news channels, and other channels on the move which could be really convenient. However, only four of Verizon’s phone models support this live TV service, which I think is a definite downside. You can’t expect everyone to own an LG Voyager, can you? On a side note, I think this move could actually revive the stock price of Qualcomm which has remained stagnant for quite some time now! 
Most importantly, if you happen to live in San Diego, check out this service and let me know your thoughts.
