“If it’s only mobile TV, we’re dissatisfied, we’re not
happy with it,” Bill Stone, the Flo unit’s head, said in an
interview. “There are going to be a lot of revenue streams off
this service.”

Stone says the strain on mobile-phone networks caused by ballooning demand for video and data should make Flo attractive to service providers and phone makers. Flo works on a system using airwaves that Qualcomm bought in federal auctions. Flo- enabled devices have separate radios and chips that enable them to receive the service from Qualcomm’s transmitters. “One person streaming a video takes up as much bandwidth as 100 cell phone calls,” said Stone. “Networks break down and can’t handle it. For me, whether I have one or 1 million users, it doesn’t matter.”

Distributing magazines with high-resolution pictures is another area where Flo can send content to mobile devices more effectively than wireless-service providers, Stone said. His network would broadcast the data to everyone at once, with only handsets that have subscriptions enabled to access the files.

Bain: 80% of Twitter engagement is link clicking - Fortune Tech - 0 views
-
When it comes to Twitter advertising, Bain says Twitter 80% of Twitter engagement consists of people clicking on a Tweet, while the remaining 20% is a Retweet or a Tweet. He thinks those are powerful signals, particularly if a user Retweets an ad: in doing so, they've transformed it from advertising to content endorsement. Case in point: two of the top 5 Tweets of all time are actually ads from McDonald's (MCD) and Disney (DIS) -- the others include Stephen Colbert's Tweet about the BP (BP) oil spill and Barack Obama's victory Tweet, "Yes we did." And when Volkswagen decided to unveil the new Beetle exclusively on Twitter, the auto maker saw a 52% engagement rate, which Bain says may have been the first time in digital advertising that "you were a minority if you didn't click the ad."
