Certainly, the availability of higher-quality content and a significant base of products like the iPod that allow for more seamless content-to-device linkages have provided a boost to the online video space.” ►John Barrett Director of Research INDUSTRY EXPERTISE: International Research, Mobile Communications, VoIP, Social Media, User-generated Content, Web 2.0 COMMENT ON VIDEO DOWNLOADING: “People don’t see a reason to use video downloading services. Sure, it saves a trip to the video store, but it takes longer, looks worse, and you end up watching it on a 17” screen. No wonder consumers are dissatisfied with the experience.” ►Yuanzhe (Michael) Cai Director of Broadband and Gaming INDUSTRY EXPERTISE: Broadband Services, Broadband Wireless Technologies/WiMAX, Bundled Services, Content Delivery Networks, Internet Video, Gaming, Consumers and Mobile Platforms COMMENT ON MOBILE ENTERTAINMENT: “South Korea leads the world in adoption of mobile entertainment features and services.
