Sounds like the same old spin again - if, but, hopefully, could, possible, think, cr@p, boll0cks, etc.

mpv4 ... go buy some more HRR , even they got a better future than this crap.

These are going tits up imo.

from iii board:-
Article in todays shares magazine talking of the action in YOO at the moment and the move towards not owning the channels etc but licensing their technology and digital platform use etc.

Mentioned a quote from Neil Mcdonald re dateline and that they are considering options of total sale but maybe retaining as a client to floating it off. The definite is that they are looking to get maximum value out of an asset that they think is lost within the whole group and hence not recognised as such.

News on this could be anytime as well and with the news starting to flow big time and remember they will only announce news they think is significant (SONY don't come more significant!) and this may be last chance saloon for these miserable low prices......

It also mentioned:-
It is also pinning future hopes on its digital platform, which will offer real-time gaming across television, mobile phones and on the internet.
'We have the rights for 3G devices worldwide,' says MacDonald, and 'we are building a prototype platform and hope to be seeing revenues from this by the end of the year.'

The Gull,
There's nothing clever in deciding a result and adjusting the variables to produce it.
You are heading for my filter list.

Digital pushes TV share of home entertainment

Global average household expenditure on home entertainment is due to rise from $182.40 to $225 by 2010, according to new research from Informa Telecoms & Media. The rise means there will be an average increase of 4.7% for every year since 2000.

The research group's report, Digital Home Entertainment: Future Consumer Spending Habits, found that TV spending is set to take a progressively larger share of the overall pie.

In 2000 TV captured an average spend of $61.80, with music taking $33.50, games taking $13.5 and films $33.90. By 2005 TV had grown to $90.10, with music down at $29.40, games up to $20.80, and films up to $42. By 2010 TV is forecast to rise to $119, with music flat at $33.10, games up to $29.80 and films flat at $43.20.

In terms of total share of spending on the four, TV remains top. In 2000 it accounted for 44% of the combined revenues, ahead of film, music and games with 24%, 23% and 9% respectively. By 2010 TV will take 53% of the total, followed by film with 19%, music with 15% and games with 13%.

Report author Simon Dyson said TV's growth would be boosted by the rollout of digital and associated services. About 30m digital TV homes were added to the total in 2005 alone, but overall penetration rates are, with some notable exceptions such as the US and UK, way below 50%, leaving plenty of room for growth.

Media Release

30th January 2006

All New Video and YooMedia Announce Partnership to Develop Next Generation 3G
Mobile TV and Interactive Services

Specialist 3G video service provider All New Video (LSE ANV), an AIM listed
company, has signed a partnership agreement with YooMedia (LSE YOO), to provide
the 3G video network backbone required to support YooMedia's recently announced,
enhanced 3G interactive video gateway.

The gateway will be offered exclusively by Broadband TV Group, YooMedia's joint
venture company with ICTV, and will utilise YooMedia's cross-platform content
delivery capability and ICTV's HeadendWare(R) technology.

HeadendWare(R) enables content delivery using broadband web delivery techniques
and tools to 3G including Flash(R) and Shockwave(R) animation, high quality
streaming audio and full motion video. The enhanced 3G gateway is expected to
enable the full capability of HeadendWare(R) to be made available to all new and
existing 3G handsets.

In conjunction with All New Video, BroadbandTV Group aims to operate and provide
the most advanced mobile interactive video on demand services for 3G network
operators, television broadcasters, content publishers, content producers and
advertisers.

All New Video's 3G video network infrastructure is considered to be one of the
largest network-independent installations of its type providing YooMedia and
BroadbandTV with a highly scalable, carrier grade solution, supporting both UK
and international applications.

Commenting on the launch, All New Video CEO, David Atkins said, 'I am genuinely
excited to be working with YooMedia on a range of cutting-edge, rich-media
services that will span web, mobile and television.'

Neil Macdonald, CEO of YooMedia commented, 'I am delighted that we are working
with All New Video as they provide a robust, scalable solution to our 3G needs'.

That Macdonald seems easily pleased.

Neil is easily impressed.

Beavis and Butthead.

Its you with your head up your ar*e not me mate.

thanks to Paul Smith.


Get down to your off license tomorrow - as February 1st is the official launch of the Yoomedia Budweiser promotion - in the run up to the World Cup, Buweiser will be releasing the promotion Europe wide on 120 million bottles of its beer.

This is not only good for Yoomedia for this promotion, but also, such a prominent promotion will bring the company to the attention of many companies, not only in the UK, but Europe too.

We will all very soon see what this promotion is all about ourselves, and then we can get as excited as the Yoomedia management, who are very excited about the whole thing.

On another note, do not under estimate the gravity of the recent deal with Sony, or the latest 3G RNS, as has the market in general judging by the current SP, take advantage of this grossly undervalued SP while you can, it won't be around much longer IMHO - DYOR

In 2009, even if I rammed a copy of the audited FY results for 2008, showing a 14m profit, up your back passage, you would still post your one line drivel.

"FY results for 2008, showing a 14m profit,"

LOL!

From thefutureisyoo on ADVFN, cant know how genuine this is but worth a read........................


I am an ex Yoomedia employee having left after Christmas. THE MOST pleasant working experience of my life and Eddie is just an amazing boss. I hold lots of shares and every current employee also does.

The problem the company has had in the past is that it has been ahead of the market. Digital technology is here to stay and it is finally in a position to take advantage without any worries, be they financial or technology related.

Since September the company was refocusing - trying to ensure that they turned cashflow positive and profitable. Memos were sent to us thanking us for our work. All they needed was a break from one of their biggest clients - William Hill. Changing the terms of the original contract took 5 months - which was way too long. Then the specific technology we had developed for them couldn't be implemented because they had taken over another betting chain. Despite this, they were very nearly in the black in November.

The top guys decided that the technology which Yoomedia have, and I would agree with them 100%, is the best in the world. They are shortly, hopefully, about to be granted a worldwide patent. It is better to concentrate on the technology than running TV channels. The taking over of Avago channel by Gala has been underrated by the market and this will be demonstrated over and over again in the coming years. Yoomedia have a good deal now with W Hill. Gosh, if they had this in the beginning of 2005 they would have profitable now. They leased Yooplay to Cell-Cast months ago and saved money on costs. The biggest partnetship they have in terms of future revenues is with ICTV and there is plenty to come on that front. Taking advantage of spare bandwidth was just a revelation and came out of the blue one summers day. That will generate lost of money in clear profit this year and beyond. As far as the Dating Division goes, Josie Adams basically said that there is no value attached to it in Yoomedia. The top guys are basically stuck as what to do. Float it for tens of millions, sell it for tens of millions or retain an interest. They have set a deadline to themselves of March to make a final decision. Shareholders will not be disappointed.

I believe YES is the money generator. Yoomedia are signing deals day in and day out, week in and week out. I am looking forward to the new brokers note as they were around the company a lot in November and December to try and appreciate how the company works. Their note should reflect very well what exactly we did there.

I do not intend to make many posts here. The technology will speak for itself. It gets more and more noticed everyday with calls from Europe and the USA companies. Yoomedia is a company that has a secure, yes secure future, and a very bright one. This year is the one where it all comes together. The CEOs personal ambition is to make it a worldleader in its field. I have no doubt it will get there.
