Singapore Mobile Operator Takes Wraps Off User-Gen Video Sharing Service, Gives Users A Cut
Undoubtedly borrowing a page from the business model of 3 in the UK and its SeeMeTV video-sharing service, Singapore’s M1 (Mobile One) has launched MeTV, a similar service with a similar name to boot. The MeTV service will showcase user-gen videoclip content users make and upload using their mobile phones. M1 said it will pay the video content owners S$0.05 (US$0.03) each time their clip is downloaded by other users. But there’s a catch: these budding filmmakers need to earn at least S$10 (US$6.51)—the equivalent of 200 downloads of their clips—before M1 hands over the cash. M1 will let users upload their videoclips free of charge until 30 April 2007. After that, users will be charged S$0.21 (US$0.13) for every video clip they upload or download.
