MTS goes content shopping
Mobile Tele Systems, Russia’s largest mobile operator, is in talks with media companies including News Corp’s Fox and Sony to acquire more films and television programmes for its online entertainment service.
Its Omlet.ru, the Moscow-based operator’s portal that is available on broadband-connected computers and mobile phones, has become Russia’s largest legal online source for entertainment content. MTS has already secured deals with Walt Disney and NBC Universal.
Omlet.ru, which was launched late last year, offers a growing collection of content with 1m music tracks, more than 750 film titles, 90 TV series, 400 episodes of TV programmes, and 10,000 music videos.
Mobile operators such as MTS are also focused on expanding access to 3G wireless services, which are anticipated to encourage heavier consumption of entertainment services on smartphones.
