Mogulus launched PRO features

It had to happen. Mogulus finally launched a PRO option. They will still keep their free service, but in two weeks they will force ads on free channels. For PRO users, some of the news will be HD Quality (1.7 mbps), 16:9,  White Label and tools for analytics. For one PRO channel with 25 GB storage and bandwidth, Mogulus will charge 350 dollars. I guess their pricing on bandwidth will be the key factor for success or not.

For a lot of producers, this should be an attractive offer. Being able to design their own player, using their own ad-systems and mixing different types of streams in an easy production environment sounds like an attractive package. I guess that Quality Of Service (QOS) suddenly will be one of the most important service issues for Mogulus. In a free service, you will have to expect a lower quality. When you buy a service, you can demand quality. Leave a comment if you buy the PRO service and tell us what you think.

Kyte.tv going mobile

Kyte.tv is now offering live streaming for mobile phones. At present this service is only available for beta testers, but I guess it will be a part of their public service pretty soon. I’ve applied for a beta tester status and will bring you a report when I get the chance to test it. Kyte.tv already has one of the best solutions for on demand video. It will be exciting to see if they can surpass the quality from Qik, Flixwagon and Bambuser.  It will be interesting to see if Kyte.tv will be able to offer viral solutions like Qik and Mogulus offer. In my opinion it will be crucial for mobile stream companies to offer viral video solutions other than pure embedding.
