MobiTV, Inc. (formerly named Idetic, Inc.) claims to be a leading provider of "end-to-end mobile media solutions". The MobiTV converged media platform delivers live TV, video on-demand and the ability to download and store content for offline viewing to millions of users[citation needed] on all major wireless networks and major mobile operating systems.

MobiTV-powered application is available in the US through T-Mobile USA, Verizon Wireless, Sprint, AT&T, US Cellular and in Canada through TELUS Mobility.[1] MobiTV's products such as AT&T U-verse Live TV, Sprint TV and T-Mobile TV provide live news and sports, and provides a variety of full-episode on-demand shows for streaming or download to the device.

MobiTV-powered solutions[clarification needed] are accessible on hundreds of devices across multiple wireless carrier partners. It offers LIVE and VOD content from many popular TV channels from content providers such as MSNBC, ABC News Now, CBS, Fox News Channel, Fox Sports, ESPN Mobile TV, NBC Mobile, CNBC, MTV, Discovery Channel, TLC, The Weather Channel and other top networks.

MobiTV’s converged media platform is an end-to-end managed service made up of components that work together to securely manage, deliver and playback video across mobile, PC, tablet and IPTV devices. In 2005, the company won an Emmy award for "Outstanding Achievement in Engineering Development" from Academy of Television Arts & Sciences.

Founded in 1999, MobiTV is a privately held, venture-backed company headquartered in Emeryville, CA. It is backed by Menlo Ventures, Oak Investment Partners, Redpoint Ventures, Gefinor Ventures and Sorrento Ventures.

In August 2011, MobiTV filed with the SEC to raise up to $75 million in an initial public offering.[2]

ASCAP Case

In May 2010, a streaming media case brought by the American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers (ASCAP) was resolved in favor of MobiTV. The United States District Court for the Southern District of New York categorically rejected ASCAP’s proposed licensing structure. The court instead adopted MobiTV’s proposal in its entirety, establishing a framework for MobiTV’s ASCAP fees that draws upon the licensing framework ASCAP has applied to cable television networks for more than a decade. The decision was game-changing for the company and the mobile content industry.
