A short time after the success with the Jonas Brothers for MTV, Flixwagon is now announcing that they are offering mobile carriers and media companies in-house solutions for streaming from mobile phones to web or television. For media companies it is important so secure the quality of service (QOS). Usually this means getting the stream servers on the inside of their own network. I know that Bambuser already are in a lot of discussion with media companies about this and I guess the same goes for competitors like Qik and Kyte.

Moving the servers in-house also means that it will be easier to brand your product. It will also increase the possibility to harness the power of the social web. I guess that this announcement will speed up and increase the competition for professional in-house solution for media companies.

The interesting part is that Flixwagon also offers a solution for integration against TV. Making them a competitor for SonyEricsson’s “Me on TV”. What Flixwagon is missing is a way to produce multiple mobile phones in one stream. Today we find these solution from Mogulus/Qik and Bambuser.

If you’re working with camcorders and are editing on a laptop, sending your stuff to a client or your newsroom could be a problem. Large mails is particularly a problem in the corporate world. My employer has a size limit on my mailbox on 150 MB. Not much in a file sharing world. The solution for me have been FTP. If you think this is to complicated, sending your stuff home with Filemail is an excellent solution. The Norwegian company Filemail is offering a free service for sending large files home. You simply fill out their mail form and upload the files. You can send files up to 2 GB without registering. If you pay for their services, you can upload up to 25 GB in one upload. The files will be available in up to 60 days.

If you choose the advanced form, you can set a password for your files and check a box to receive an e-mail when the receiver has downloaded your files. You can also choose to zip files and put encryption on your file dump. Best off all - it’s free of charge. In my opinion Filemail is working a lot better for MOJOs than Depositfile and Raidshare.
