YooMedia plc

Enters into Worldwide 3G Video Content Market with ICTV

YooMedia plc, the AIM traded interactive content and services provider, and ICTV
have expanded their joint venture agreement to develop and exclusively market
rich media interactive content solutions and services for the worldwide 3G
mobile market. The joint venture company, BroadbandTV Group, utilizes
YooMedia's cross platform interactive media gateway and services and ICTV's
HeadendWare(R) technology, which have already been successfully integrated for
digital television and are currently under trial in the UK with ntl.

BroadbandTV Group aims to operate and provide a unique enhanced 3G interactive
video gateway for 3G network operators, television broadcasters, content
publishers, content producers and advertisers.

ICTV's HeadendWare(R) enables a content delivery network that brings broadband
web delivery techniques and tools to 3G including Flash(R) and Shockwave(R)
animation, high quality streaming audio and full motion video. YooMedia's
proprietary interactive services include the Dateline Mobile service, the
world's first mobile phone video dating service to deliver live video matching
for singles, which recently was named Best Mobile TV Channel or Service at
MIPCOM's inaugural Mobile Day.

BroadbandTV Group has already developed and aggregated a wide-ranging
interactive UK programming package through its Content Partner Programme,
including ITN, MTV Networks, Emap, Turner Broadcasting, Sesame Workshop and
UKTV.

The Directors believe that this partnership is an important strategic step for
the Company and anticipate that the relationship will make a growing
contribution to its financial results during the year ending 31 December 2006
and beyond.

YooMedia's Group Managing Director, Neil MacDonald, said 'This is another
exciting step in the development of cutting edge and compelling products and
services for the YooMedia interactive portfolio. There is tremendous market
potential, for example, in the ability of our YooMedia Dating services to reach
singles across a combination of mobile, PC and digital television devices.'

One of the fastest growing technologies worldwide, 3G service is currently
offered over more than 75 networks in 36 countries, with subscriber numbers
estimated to grow to approximately 240 million in the next four years. A total
of 26 hardware suppliers manufacture and distribute more than 170 3G handsets
and devices.

Jeff Miller, President and Chief Executive Officer of ICTV, added: 'While 3G
represents a large potential market, the diversity of devices and networks and
the need to reach across other media underscores the need for a unified
solution. By combining the power of HeadendWare(R) with YooMedia's innovative
applications, Broadband TV is able to rapidly and cost-effectively deliver rich
media services across PCs, mobile devices and advanced digital television.'

Morning Baza,
I wasn't sure what to make of it, but the early trading seems to indicate the market likes it.
Alan

1 here we come

Ah. Not sure they like it that much.

Morning Alan - confess I am out of these at the moment - but keep it on my watch list. managed to follow PM's advice and traded these, getting in after the drop at 5p and out at 11p.

Cant make up my mind what to do about these. They seem to have massive potential (a bit like SEO) - but having dropped from 20p to 4 p overnight - I am a bit cautious about making any long term investment in these yet.

Baza

Bhunt 1910 know what you mean but they only dropped over night from 9p yo 4p see chart 4 your self!

Overhight in its figurative sense.
I'm in Baza, and have been since before the last part of the last drop, so am about trading even, but you know me, I'm loathe to give money to brokers and the taxman, so once I'm in, I'm in for the long haul. Good or bad!
Alan

10.5p by close, if we break 9p

Looking good for your target Katcenka!!!! it seems that people obviously like the sound of it.

next resistance is 10.75p

Great news for all who've kept faith--I'm in for the long haul too.

ARX say no more ;-)

Hi Katcenka,
Sorry but you lost me in that last comment. Was it intentionally vaugue or am I being blonde and stupid again?
Alan

There's no comparison between this company and ARX--the potential and area yoo operates in is huge!! ARX is tiny and struggling to sell it's product good though it is--the breakthrough has not been made. I hope these Yoo contracts have now fired the enthusiasm the company deserves. IMO of course.

And imo its still a pile of sh*te that makes bugger all except for its directors.

Stop messing around on this thread Dil get back into ACE.
You know it makes sense.

Fingers crossed for Wales at the week end.

capa

I bought a load after seeing the post above from tomcress2000 saying that they will go to a 1. Thats over 10 times what i've paid so i cant lose.
Cheers Tom.
d.

Dailos,
I have to tell you that it should not be comments on BB,S that make your investment decisions.
Of course being a holder I hope it happens but it is the state and prospects of the company that gave me the confidence to invest.
DYOR (do your own research)at all times.

WT

Yes......be very careful Dailos!

Some of the smartest conmen around are to be found on investors bb's. They can and do cost people thousands, as can dodgy management! Take Enron for example..........the company has made a fortune over the years but not to the benefit of it's shareholders.

However, re ULT, I'm very bullish and think many will be surprised over the next year+ at just how much this companies revenues will grow.

Edited to add........some of these conmen are in sindicates and so will be part of a group of posters, posting as though they are completely seperate individuals to talk up or down a stock.
