MediaFLO Needs To Hook Up With GoldSpot Media

2008-01-22_1741
If this isn’t a match made in heaven, I don’t know what is, seriously. Here you have Qualcomm’s MediaFLO technology leaking money like a sieve, and meanwhile, startup GoldSpot Media, who specializes in putting ads in mobile TV broadcasts, gets a $3 million cash injection. Sounds to me like these two companies need to hook up and have lunch.

GoldSpot Media’s CEO was previously with VIrgin Mobile as a consultant in device management and video streaming, and his new company focuses on delivering non-intrusive advertising content in broadcast and streaming mobile video. We’re all used to having commercials in TV, I don’t see an issue with a quick 5-10 second ad pre-rolling before Mobile TV content.

Congrats to GoldSpot, and Qualcomm, you’d better find these guys quickly!
