    What is 1MB of data? 1MB* on average is: Browsing - using the internet on your O2 mobile O2 Active 40 pages approx Mobile internet sites outside of O2 (typically 3rd party websites not controlled by O2): 2-10 full web pages (depending on graphics, images, amount of text) 10-20 mobile web pages Sending and receiving E-mail from your O2 mobile 200 emails without attachment 10 emails with simple one page attachment Satellite Navigation 15 hours of Satellite navigation traffic alert service. Please note: Using GPS Sat Nav without the traffic alert service does not incur data charges. Important information The following services when provided by a 3rd party may consume large amounts of data and maybe subject to separate charge. We recommend you take a Browsing Bolt On if you use these services regularly: Downloading video clips from 3rd party: typically between 1MB and 5MB depending on the length and quality of the clip, plus the cost of the video Note - Downloading video clips/music/games from O2 costs the price of the content only with no additional data charges. Downloading high quality music tracks from 3rd party: typically between 1MB and 5MB per track depending on the length and quality of the track, plus the cost of the track Downloading games from 3rd party: typically 300KB, plus the cost of the game We recommend that you avoid the following on your mobile: Using VOIP** uses 1 MB of data every 3-4 minutes. Downloading full-length movies as this may use in excess of 1,000MB. Using video/ audio streaming devices (e.g. 'Sling box'), which connect your mobile device to your TV, also consume large amounts of data. Watching 15 minutes of TV on your mobile using these devices uses around 25MB. * These figures are based on typical usage. Actual data usage will depend on the content of web pages viewed and the length of emails sent/received. ** Typical VOIP usage is around 5KB per second but will depend on a number of variables including codec and voice sample t

  • nice but simple app, the design work will likely take a designer about a week, which will cost you about $6,000. The server side will likely require a developer about 2 weeks of work, or about $12,000. Similarly, the app could be written in about 2 weeks as well, another $12,000. Add $5,000 for project management, hosting fees for a year, debugging, unforeseen delays, and your total budget is around $35,000
  • nice high end app, like a high-end game, numbers are usually much higher. Design will likely cost you $30,000 alone. Development will be in the $150,000+ range. Hosting fees and extras will cost another $30,000. At the end of the day, your app will likely cost you at least $200,000

  • You're aiming for 0.5M MAU, lets assume a good ARPU of $0.40 given monthly revenues of $200,000.
  • f your game has a good viral ratio of 0.5, that is, each person invites 0.5 other people, then we can model the equation as 1 / (1 - 0.5) = 2. So for every person we buy, we get 2 kicked out (2 for the price of 1). So, to hit 0.5M MAUs we need to buy approx. 0.5M / 2 = 250,000 users. 
  • Our cost to acquire a customer (CAC) is probably going to be around $0.50, so the cost to acquire those 250,000 users is $125,000. 
  • ...1 more annotation...
  • Taking into account the cost of hosting, and the cost of processing the payments then we can safely round up the monthly "cost of sales" to $140,000 on monthly revenue of $200,000.

  • he average total number of units sold was 101,024 copies within an average period of 261 days. The average number of units sold per day was 387. The average price was $5.49, although the data skews due to the $49.99 outlier. In most cases, the price point was $0.99. The average number of updates released was 3.89, with the average total development cost amounting to $6,453. Several developers omitted development costs and most did not include their personal time in these figures. It is safe to assume the cost would be at least five or ten times more when using a contracted team. But on average here, iPhone developers are seeing a return of more than 15 times their initial, albeit small, development costs.
  • However, when the top 10% of the most successful apps are removed from the data set, the numbers skew much lower, giving a far better impression of what the iPhone industry looks like for most developers. In this scenario, the average sales were 11,625 total units, averaging 44 copies/day. Approximately 23% of apps sold less than 1000 units from launch (ranging from 12 to 370 days in the App Store). Further, 56% of apps sold less than or equal to 10,000 units, while 90% sold less than 100,000 units, with the remaining 10% achieving sales of 127,000 – 3,000,000 units.

CDN VOD 4OD CostofStreaming

shared by David Astle on 15 Nov 10 - No Cached
  • Some analysts question whether VoD can be as profitable as broadcast TV. The dual costs of piping internet video into the home and licensing content from producers - both paid out on a per-view basis - "may call into question the level of profits that can be made in the long term" from VoD, says David Cockram of Oliver & Ohlbaum, a media consultancy. "More people are taking more of the pie."
  • Broadcasters already have to pay companies providing "content delivery networks" to ensure their on-demand programming reaches viewers in good quality and without loading-time delays mid-video. Every time a programme is viewed online through their VoD services, the BBC, ITV, Channel 4 and other broadcasters pay a CDN provider such as Akamai, Level 3 or, soon, BT.
  • Today, one half-hour programme costs between 2p and 5p to stream through a CDN every time it is viewed. That may not sound much, but with the BBC iPlayer serving up almost 60m TV shows in November, a broadcaster's CDN costs could already exceed £1m a month.

    Sky Store brings 1000+ on-demand movies to Sky Anytime+ 8 Mar 2012 Sky has expanded its pay-per-view movie offering for customers with Sky Anytime+. The new Sky Store replaces Sky Box Office and has over 1000 films available to watch on-demand. SD movies start at just 99p, rising to £3.99 for blockbuster new movies in HD. Sky also confirmed that Sky Anytime+ will be available to all Sky customers from Easter - a Sky Broadband subscription will no longer be required. Sky Anytime+ delivers a wide range of on-demand content for free as well as offering pay-per-view films. Sky is at pains to point out that its pay-per-view movies, via the new Sky Store if you're an Anytime+ customer, are cheaper than iTunes and Lovefilm in many instances. New releases are £3.49, library movies are £1.99 and special offers are 99p. HD films rather than SD will cost 50p more. Sky Box Office will continue as the place for non-Sky Anytime+ customers to choose from a more limited range of the latest movies on the live channels from £3.49 per title. All Sky TV customers meanwhile can rent movies on a pay-per-view basis from the new Sky Store on laptops via the Sky Go application, which already has a Sky Movies application, too.
