De setter stor pris på enkel og personalisert kommunikasjon, så nye konsepter planleggesDenne første testen viser et vekstpotensiale. Vi gav seerne en drue, og de ønsker en hel drueklase!

Å ha denne muligheten gjør oss mer fleksible, spesielt ved uforutsette begivenheter. (i.e. USA Today 10.03.2005, ABC News, 10.03, 2005, Propaganda, 08.03.2005)

  • First in the world with live mobile TV

  • First in Europe with MMS photos on TV
    - MMS does to TV what the phone did to radio.
