Rashid Majid Al Abbar, vice-president of Home Products Marketing for etisalat, told Gulf News that the company's ‘eLife' package would be on offer by October. "We are looking at opening up our eLife TV to other multiple screens as we have a lot of content on hand," he said. Al Abbar said that etisalat was trying to negotiate content restrictions regarding tablets with networks. Once these get resolved, eLife would run on Apple and Android platforms, either on a data package outside the home or WiFi. Currently eLife is only offered on fixed home broadband through fibre-to-the-home (FTTH) service. Etisalat launched its eLife services in 2010, and Al Abbar said etisalat has invested Dh400 million to improve the IPTV platform. "More than 50 per cent of our customers are on the fibre optic network and the rest on the copper network.

BLUE VERTIGO | Web Design Resources Links | Last update JUL.04.2011 QuickPlay Show High Mobile TV Adoption Amongst Viewers A survey from QuickPlay Media (in a regular ‘Market Tools segment’) has suggested that a majority of people are now interested in and using mobile TV and ‘multiscreen services’ when consuming video and TV content. The main findings of the survey was that 57% of people are ‘interested’ in the idea of a ’multiscreen video service’, a figure that has risen from the 48% recorded at the same point last year. While tablets are naturally seen as the most popular ‘mobile viewing device’ for longer sittings or when at home, smartphones are still the main device used for mobile viewing (presumably more often in a quick and portable manner). The statistics showed that 35% of respondents had previously tried mobile TV and/or video services, while 27% are regular users of them. It is stated that 72% of that group have been using such services for under a year, while just over 80% reported watching more frequent content through a mobile device than they were at the same time in 2011.
