World Telemedia Invites Entrepreneurs to pitch to investors

Posted on by Andrea Putnam-Moorcroft

The telemedia industry has long been driven by entrepreneurs and has thrived on turning great ideas and technology into money making services – and the World Telemedia Show has always been the showcase for unveiling these developments.

Now in its 29th year, the show is looking to further drive this entrepreneurial spirit by running a series of lunches at the next event in Marbella in October where those with great ideas or businesses that need to take that next step can pitch to Investors.

Focusing on value added services (VAS), buyers, sellers, investors and mentors will all be introduced to each other over a 5-star lunch.  A total of six companies will be given the opportunity to privately pitch their ideas.  Investor pitch proposals should be submitted in writing to Jarvis Todd jarvis@wtevent.co.uk by 21 July 2018

“We believe that the people who attend World Telemedia are the early adopters and adaptors of new technology who are focused on the and look for the practical money making application of technology within the Value Added Services Sector,”  says Jarvis Todd, CEO, World Telemedia Ltd. “By connecting those with great new ideas or existing fledgling businesses with those with the knowledge and business acumen to take their ideas to the next level, World Telemedia is driving VAS both now and into the future.”

World Telemedia looks forward to another successful event in Marbella on 8-10 October.  An enlightening series of seminars and country updates, a deal-making expo hub and the most glamourous business networking around has been planned as the backdrop for serious deal making on-site.  A must attend event since 1989, World Telemedia is focused on Driving Value Added Services and Monetising Content.

The premium rate industry has shown decline over the past few years with consumers opting for free or other payment methods to enjoy their digital content and services, while the EU, while opening up the opportunity for tickets has clamped down heavily on transaction values and maximum monthly amounts.

PhonepayPlus releases research showing Operator Billing can grow beyond £500m

Posted on by Andrea Putnam-Moorcroft

A study commissioned by PhonepayPlus shows that there is potential for mobile operator billing for digital content and services to grow to c. £500 million and gain a 4% UK market share of micropayments.

Non-Adult entertainment products account for over 80% of digital products and services sold in the UK. Major App stores and operating system platforms such as iOS and Android have a strong influence over how digital content is monetised and consumed, but the study identifies opportunities for mobile operators who wish to play a significant part in the micropayments eco-system. 

The study shows that strategic positioning and development of operator billing, operating under the generic name of charge to mobile in the UK is required to ensure that it has a key role to play by bringing in digital inclusion of consumers and through its low friction interfaces such as Payforit.

The report is available from PhonepayPlus on this link
