Mobile TV• And this base has been ignored in 2 aspects:

1. for those who have Digital TV in their mobile phone, it is true to say that the content hasnÊt yet been adapted to the proper size of the screen, neither to the consumer profile or addapted to be consumed in a specific moment of the day.

2. This audience is not being measured

Mobile TV

• This number (10 million of devices with TV) is very close to the number of paid TV subscriptions in Brazil.

The paid TV started being measured in Brazil when it had less than 1 million subscriptions.

Obviously the paid TV subscription is per residence and not per head, but it helps to illustrate the importance of this number.
