Virgin Mobile plans TV handset service to lift customer spend

The Guardian

Virgin Mobile is planning to launch a television service that will allow customers to watch a range of digital channels and even record programmes on their mobile phones.
Sir Richard Branson's telecommunications business, which yesterday announced its first dividend since flotation last year and predicted strong growth in 2005, will test the service over the summer with a view to a full launch towards Christmas.

Mobile firms have become increasingly interested in TV as a way of persuading customers to spend more money. This month Orange announced it will provide a range of channels over its 3G network while Vodafone is expected to launch a similar service in the UK later this year.

Next month, rival O2 will start trials of mobile TV in Oxford using a new broadcast technology known as DVB-H.
But the Virgin Mobile service, provisionally named VMTV, will take the existing digital broadcast signal and adapt it so it can be viewed on a mobile phone. Virgin Mobile has also abandoned its network partner T-Mobile for the service, although it will use the company's 3G network to offer interactive elements.

Virgin Mobile refused to name its broadcast partners yesterday but is understood to be in talks with a number of digital TV providers, including BSkyB. It is also seeking to use handsets that will allow customers to record programmes and watch them later.

Its first annual results since its flotation in July last year saw profits before exceptionals and financial charges up more than 27% to 100m and a maiden dividend payout of 4.88p. Annual pre-tax profits were 53m.

The company, which makes most of its cash through pre-pay customers, reported turnover of 521m with revenues from mobile telephone calls and texts rising 16.2% to 457.3m.

It forecast growth in 2005 "in the mid-teens" compared with rivals, who are looking for growth of less than 10%.

Just so you all know.

Over the last 12 months, Mactavish has been copying many of my posts, made on other BB's and passing them off as his own work, on Moneyam.

Mactavish has VERY rarely contributed any words himself and when he is not stealing my work, he posts news items, which I have found.

It's important to credit an author, when posting the text. Mactavish prefers to claim it as his own.

thanks for all the work IP--I have faith-you have faith and a bundle riding on it!! some day soon we'll celebrate together I hope.

Don't want to be involved in a slanging match over who the author is, so thank you whoever you are, be it IP or Mactavish. The importatnt thing is that we are all vindicated in our faith and cash being placed in this company. I really do believe it has the potential to be a big winner in the mobile and digital revolution that is now coming of age.
As I posted on another board, even if I have over estimated the potential of YOO, this sector is odds-on to see hostile activity in the acquisition arena, as the bigger boys seek to expand quickly to take advantage of the newest technology, and lucrative contracts held by the minnows. If this is true then this share should be worth holding for that potential alone.
Have a good weekend, guys, and lets hope for top notch news very soon.
Regards
Alan

Mr. Ipublic various identities.


He is now on Ample board as Big Chops, same name Mr. Ben bond which he has denied in the past being the same as Triggertv. Big Chops supposingly had a holding of 1.3 million bought at an average of 3.6p which was the same as Mr.SF. Never heard from Mr.SF again. You know what i think happened Mr. SF/trigger/Big Chops/ Ipublic, bottled it and sold and came back on here as triggertv.Probably kept building up his stake in YOO again after selling or maybe just sold some of them. Oh and he is on another board as Ipublic. Do not forget that Mr. SF. short for Mr. Shortforever predicated that Yoo would be 1 a share by April 2 2004 as a good friend in the city told him so and it was a very reliable source.

Well you acuse me of lying. It would be advisable to get your own house in order, before having a dig at others.

At least I don't steal other people's work and then pass it off as my own on Moneyam. There are laws against this. You clearly lack any degree of creativity, or else you would write your own posts.

Yes, I'm also Father Christmas, PeterPan, Noddy and in charge of North Korea in my spare time.

You might not be a liar, but definately a thief, for stealing my work over a long period, without ever offering credit where it's due. You clearly appreciated the content at the time.

Next time I post on a BB, do yourself a big favour and acknowledge the author. Or you could find yourself in trouble!

Finally, if you think house prices are 'going through the roof' any time soon, you are off your rocker!

The owls across the river, in the New Forest, often awaken me at this time and their persistence this morning tells me that they have an inportant message to communicate. I've suddenly realised that what they are saying is YOO, YOO repeatedly, and this makes sense because I have had in mind for some time YOO as a recovery stock.
I feel sure that other readers, many of whom are unable to tune into this special source of wisdom would wish to hear their message.
sd.

lol!

Yes, I hear it as well!

At this time of year I am often woken while wicketkeeping for my local cricket team by the umpire shouting BUY. Could these be connected??
Alan

bloody hell!

The suspense is killing me!! I feel certain the next news from these will be good, but I can't stand the waiting!! Who is the PR guy here, alfred Hitchcock??
Alan

Hope that all the hype on this board in not in vain, in my experience it usually is.....but I dooo pray just this once its not.....but again murphys law has more of a probability!!!!!!!!!!

):-))))

The lack of news is killing this share. This is very frustrating!
