The Revolution in OTT Mobile TV Media Space Has Arrived



The global advertising media space is continuously changing and re-inventing itself. Google and Facebook are prime examples of this. And when it comes to advertising via the medium of mobile television: OONA - the World 1st Free Interactive Entertainment & Messaging Platform that offers a personalized AI Genie, & rewards users for viewing & sharing content, is a case in point: so step forward the genie in the app, the amiable Siskabot, the first OTT AI Chatbot who has completely revolutionized the media ad space by delivering the ads each individual user really wants.


The founder and CEO of OONA, entrepreneur and leading digital strategist, Christophe Hochart, has a unique strategy that has made OONA a substantial vehicle of opportunity for TV channels and content holders. This is while simultaneously providing: the best of TV and AVOD and premium option entertainment; free and instant access to both ad-supported and commercial-free current season shows, live and on demand channels; acclaimed original series, films of all genres; documentaries, educational broadcasts, cookery specials, motoring, celebrity news, FashionTV, combat, live sports and breaking news on up to 300 top national and international channels. Some of the most popular channels include: TRT World, Motorland, TVOne, FashionTV, BeIN Sports and Combat Go, and there are countless more, either available now, or in the pipeline.

A Business Model With a Difference

The genius in Hochart's business model is that the platform is entirely financed via a tailored personalised ad service. This is generated by the consumers' regular chats with Siskabot, together with data about the user's behavior on the platform (all of which is kept strictly confidential). So it is a win-win situation for the three way partnership: the TELCOM company which partners OONA, the channels/content holders, and OONA. And OONA viewers stand to benefit the most, compared to those who use other platforms.


Revolution in a Box

OONA has revolutionized the OTT TV media space by integrating the demographic-specific AI chatbot, who appears live when the user downsloads the OONA app, and then continually carries out her duties as an Ad Personaliser Manager. Just like a real life counterpart, SiskaBot becomes a virtual friend, ready and waiting to chat and help 24/7. The regular discussions she has with the consumers help to determine exactly what sort of programs they enjoy watching, and what type of brand products they really love and would like to get for a good price. This, along with the users' behavior patterns and program choice preferences provide excellent data collection and data architecture which in turn, optimizes ad targeting and delivers the best brand benefits to every single user.

This personalized experience strategy builds customer loyalty by not only helping the consumers get what they want and save money, but by not subjecting them to irrelevant and annoying ads. Moreover, research indicates that the majority of users like being able to ask questions in real time, and appreciate a personalizedonline experience. In fact, customer experience has emerged as the new battlefield: “When Econsultancy conducted their survey for Digital Marketing Trends, they asked companies to state the single most exciting opportunity for 2017. The results? Customer experience or CX, as it is often called, came in first - beating content marketing and mobile marketing! Further, Gartner, the world’s leading advisory and research company: “predicts that by 2018, more than 50% of organizations will redirect their investments to customer experience innovations” [1].

And so in its drive for excellent CX, OONA understands competitive advantage, and that the name of the game is knowing your consumers extremely well. To that end, Siskabot, who appears like a genie on an overlay, regularly checks to see if she has done a good job for the user's ads experience, and asks what she can do better to serve her user. This feedback ensures that the consumer gets the very best that OONA has to offer in the way of optimized app ads and great money saving promotions. And on top of this, the users even get virtual currency tcoin rewards for interacting with the OONA app, chatting with Siskabot and other users, watching and sharing content, viewing channels; and clicking, watching and sharing ads. These tcoins can be redeemed for all kinds of branded goods, discounts, meals and fun days out, as well as free phone minutes and telcom products.



Leading TV channel owners and content holders are taking an up close and personal look at all the advertising strategies regulated OTT companies such as OONA have to offer. But this is to be expected, when data from the GSMA Intelligence Report, Global Mobile Trends 2017, indicated that: “5 billion unique mobile subscribers globally was achieved in Q2 2017. [And] by 2020, almost 75% of the global population will be connected by mobile” [2].

OONA empowers TV channel companies and content owners by giving them a 100% control, customization and data transparency, without threatening their existing model. And this is one of the areas where OONA's highly successful strategy partnership is different to other platforms. Further, OONA adapts to each single market without changing its first-class universal user experience. The TV landscape, media content and economics of a particular country remain the same, and every OTT solution is framed using a custom designed model which is beneficial to both the channel company and the user.

OONA places its users first in everything it does, and offers TV channel partners far more than they could have imagined. Siskabot, the genie in the app, plays a huge part in bringing in the revenue they will enjoy.

The Systemic Crisis With Telcoms & the Need to Merge With OTT Services


Telcom giants are becoming aware that their conventional businesses can be successfully supplemented by free regulated OTT online services such as OONA, the YouTube of TV”

Telcoms are facing a massive stand-off as consumers are now in the driving seat, and pressing down hard on the accelerator. Telcoms have two choices: they can either accept a massive cut in profits, or change course. The OTT revolution is here, and the demand is exciting and contagious.

As we surge towards 2020: “network operators are forced to look for answers to difficult questions: How do we create new revenue streams? How do we... develop business?” [1]. Everything in the world of explosive high tech is moving faster than the speed of light, and the good news for consumers everywhere, is that: “as a result of competition between operators and substitution of traditional services, the profitability of the most mass communication services falls on conditionally free” [1].

Obstacles Confronting the Telecom Industry

The maintenance of telecommunication infrastructure, as well the development of telcom services, requires heavy investment, but will the flow of funds to meet these requirements keep coming? Over the next few years, the telecommunications industry is likely to be confronted by sobering challenges. There are limitations to its growth, as it is: “on the verge of a systemic crisis that has never existed before. The revolution is coming to an end – and further development of the market poses a number of serious obstacles” [1].

One of these obstacles is market saturation. “In developed countries, the subscriber base of cellular communication networks has practically become equal to the country’s population – therefore, the rapid growth of the industry has exhausted itself” [1]. In fact, in large numbers of countries, the total number of operational SIM cards has already transcended the number of citizens. Moreover, the traditional growth drivers have arrived at a standstill when it comes to access to broadband internet, mobile telephony, and so on. And due to high tech advances, the potential for increasing the speed of channels is also at it its peak. And while these factors may not apply to developing countries at the moment, the time will come when they will.

The fact of the matter is that today's telecom networks are undergoing a functional crisis. As it stands: “all the fundamental needs of consumers... are generally satisfied. To attract subscribers with new services, operators are now focusing on entertainment options” [1]. In the past: “the basis of everything was a ‘voice,’ and the rest of the services complemented it, now the primary facility required by users is internet access” [1], and all that goes with it, including top entertainment. There is no untapped market left.

So What is the Solution?

New services are needed if telcom companies want to make a healthy profit and maintain their aging infrastructure. At the end of the day, one successful solution to the telcoms' systemic crisis rests on satisfying unfulfilled customer needs, and discovering prospective market niches which have not yet been filled. Step Forward OONA TV.

OONA

What OTT mobile TV model can work in conjunction with telcoms, content providers and channels, to offer them a highly lucrative personalised ad revenue by delivering first-class free and premium optium entertainment to the telcom's consumers via their mobile devices? In one word - OONA. This entertainment and service includes: the latest films, series, documentaries, FashionTV, celebrity news, Motorland, TRT World, TV1, TV4, MTV, Combat Go, live sports, breaking news and live channels; a super cool way of sharing content with friends and family using all kinds of fun tools and stickers; saving hours of users' time searching through different pirate channel's; giving viewers a patented personalised genie-in-the-app bot who works as a program adviser/ad manager; saving them money on branded goods, and even rewarding them with a virtual currency which can be redeemed for branded goods for watching and sharing what they love.


OONA, the brain child of serial entrepreneur and leading digital transformation expert, Christophe Hochart, is set to deliver exciting content and live TV to billions of people in developing countries and beyond, and has recently fulfilled a key milestone by launching OONA Indonesia, in partnership with Telkom Indonesia. Telcom Indonesia, the world's largest telecommunications company, is one of the biggest and best for a reason – its directors and managers understand that telcoms have to evolve and think outside the box. Both Telkom Indonesia and OONA share the same dynamic vision and drive, and they now offer top quality free entertainment to 185 million plus Indonesians who can enjoy data-free and subscription-free OONA mobile TV anytime, anywhere. And there is is even a dongle for home TVs. Now that really is a great win-win situation for telcoms, content holders, channels, and consumers alike!

Streaming Mobile Video is Becoming the Norm For US and Indonesian Consumers


According to market research, and a study undertaken by consulting firm, Park Associates: “Nearly 50% of smartphone owners in US broadband households stream video on their phone, which in turn is creating more demand for high-speed mobile connections as the industry prepares to shift to 5G network infrastructure” [1].


Image ref: Advanced TV

Kristen Hanich, Parks Associate's research analyst. commented on the fact that "video streaming is increasingly common among mobile consumers" [1], and along with other smartphone activities that are now commonplace, consumers' data requirements are becoming substantial. Telcoms in the US and many other regions in the world now have a greater incentive than in the past for signing up new customers. Further, when compared to 2015 figures, according to a recent Parks Associates study, there is a clear price jump for for monthly mobile services that American broadband households now have to pay.

Hanich noted that: "The resurgence of unlimited data plans has been successful in getting consumers to upgrade their service" [1]. Moreover, service providers offer different types of attractive, practical data packages that give users unlimited data, and incorporate different levels of streaming quality and data speeds. Moreover, as Hanich notes: “as the race to 5G heats up, network capabilities will also become increasingly important in the battle for consumers" [1], and although telcoms are ferociously poaching users away from their rivals, they are nonetheless, slowly draining their ‘levers’ which convince users to switch. Parks Associates anticipates a strategy which will focus on consumer retention as opposed to user acquisition.

Telkom Indonesia - A Case In Point

Telkom Indonesia is renowned as Indonesia's biggest telecommunication and network provider. It is the Telkom Group's parent company, and is actively involved in a huge range of businesses including multimedia and telecommunications. It is majority owned by the government of Indonesia, and in terms of Indonesia's mobile phone subscribers, boasts a predominate market share. Moreover, in terms of market capitalization, it is one of the country's largest companies [2].

Telkom Indonesia's impressive spectrum of telecommunication and network services include: cellular services, interconnection and network services, and data and internet communication services. Further, it offers IT and e-Payment enabler services, as well as leading entertainment and media, such as that provided by their 2017 partnership with OONA, the cutting-edge AVOD OTT entertainment and messaging platform. Moreover, due to its subsidiary company, Telkomsel Telkom Indonesia, stands as one of the top Indonesian companies which is able to benefit from the nation's highly profitable telecommunication industry. In fact: “the large and young population, in combination with its rising per capita GDP, are reasons that Indonesia is one of the world’s most crowded telecommunication markets” [2].

Mobile is the Name of the Game

As the fourth most populous country on earth, Indonesia poses a large and fast-growing market for mobile technologies” [3]

Indonesians are unique due to the fact that they primarily use smart phones for their communication needs and access to the internet. Moreover, Statistica predicts that by 2019, there will be 193.4 million mobile phone users [3]. As can be expected: “a number of companies [in Indonesia], are in fierce competition for market shares. Competition has brought tariffs for mobile phone services down significantly, while a new group of subscribers (from the poorer segments of society) have limited spending capacity” [2].

OONA and Telkom Indonesia Offer Free Mobile TV

OONA goes beyond TV and OTT – it is a world 1st Free Entertainment & Messaging platform which gives users a cool way of choosing, sharing and editing their fab entertainment and ads”

OONA's founder and CEO, Christophe Hochart, together with Telkom Indonesia, has developed a unique way to bring data-free and subscription-free Mobile TV, along with premium options, to 185 million Indonesians. Focusing on delivering free entertainment any time any where, OONA is fulfilling the fun factor for Indonesians, and is well on its way to doing the same for billions of people in other parts of Asia, Africa and South America, the Middle East, the US and Europe, where mobile video is becoming the norm.

By bringing some sunshine into people's lives - many of whom have never owned a television set or laptop, OONA - via its AVOD mobile TV in a box, is facilitating a new type of user experience. This enables individuals and families to enjoy streaming fantastic films, shows, series, educational broadcasts and live sports, along with breaking news, and content from their local region, where ever they are, 24/7/365, on any mobile device, without having to pay for a subscription or data.

Users no longer have to waste away their time browsing, searching and switching channels, or going to pirate sites that are being systematically fined and closed down. Now, OONA empowers them with all the television they could ever desire, all in one place. In the case of OONA's partnership with Telkom Indonesia, viewers are even rewarded with tcoins, a virtual currency which they can earn for watching TV, sharing video ads, and engaging with other users and the helpful world first, AI Genie in the OONA App, Siskabot, who appears in person when the OONA app is downloaded. She arranges the content and ads that each individual desires, and has it all ready and waiting for them. And users can redeem their tcoins for telkom products, and a vast selection of branded goods, along with take away meals and other fun things. 



OONA is a game changer, and is well on course to fulfill its company mission statement: “To make life fun for billions of people by providing Free Mobile TV.” The platform delivers fantastic high level entertainment to viewers free of charge, and at the same time, generates a ready to launch business synergy between TELCOM companies and content owners and broadcasters, enabling leading TELCOM companies to leverage their user base and network infrastructure to significantly expand their Mobile TV business. TELCOMS can now generate multi-revenues by offering the best ad supported live video and VOD, that goes way beyond OTT and TV, while at the same time, doing social good by providing high quality free entertainment.

In summary, no matter whether it is in the US, Asia, or anywhere else in the world, the freedom and flexibility to watch streaming video on a mobile device is one of the greatest things that tech has brought us. And thanks to state-of-the-art companies such as OONA, this on-the-go entertainment will not just be the preserve of first world countries, it will be available for everyone to enjoy...
