Toronto, ON — December 16, 2009
QuickPlay Media, the premier provider of solutions that manage the business of mobile video, announced today that it has been named a Mobile Excellence Award winner in the “Best Mobile Video Technology” category for its PrimeTime2Go premium mobile TV service. This is the second consecutive year in which QuickPlay has taken home the “Best Mobile Video Technology” award, winning last year for its work on the fully integrated mobile video and radio service, Rogers Vision.
“To be recognized by the Mobile Excellence Awards for two consecutive years is truly an honor,” said Wayne Purboo, president and CEO, QuickPlay Media. “We continue to see an increasing demand for premium mobile video solutions that enable consumers to extend their viewing experience beyond the confines of their living rooms. By providing consumers with features similar to those of popular in-home DVR devices, PrimeTime2Go is feeding this appetite, and in doing so, helping shape the future of mobile entertainment.”
Released in May 2009, PrimeTime2Go is a monthly subscription fee-based service that allows consumers to watch their favorite shows at any time and from anywhere. The service currently features popular programs from major networks and cable providers including ABC, CBS, MTVN, NBC, Bravo, Discovery Channel, ESPN and more. After signing up for PrimeTime2Go, consumers can download programs on-demand or set the service to automatically deliver full episodes of popular TV series soon after the original air date. All downloads take place over Wi-Fi, so the service doesn’t affect consumers’ mobile data usage. After the download is complete subscribers can view their programs in both connected and disconnected environments such as an airplane or a train.
Winners of the 2009 Mobile Excellence Awards represent the creative visionaries and technological pioneers of the mobile entertainment industry," said Sarah Miller, CEO, Axis PR and founder & chair, Mobile Excellence Awards. “We’re proud to recognize QuickPlay Media for their success in bringing cutting-edge mobile video solutions to the Mobile Entertainment Awards this year.”
