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.
