The multi-lingual system offers both WAP and web sign-up. Once registered, one minute clips are pushed to the user. Top brands are licensed for each genre and the service uses industry standard deployment. NOD is a unique marketing tool with user ownership and customer control – the user chooses what to watch and when to watch it! NOD offers a number of core initial categories for the service and channel categories can be increased to include territory and region-based infotainment focus.
Users benefit from the push technology as it gives them control. It also satisfies mobile user's habits – snack feeding with short, sharp, updated information as it happens. As there is no application download, the user simply signs up and waits for the updates to hit the inbox; ensuring they never miss the latest news, as the clip remains in messages box until user deletes it.
Partners benefit as NOD drives customer usage and retention. A message arrives to prompt viewing and, as the service is hosted centrally for global delivery, there is no expensive hardware or lengthy set up. NOD comes as a fully white-labeled system with flexible content offering. Choose the categories and ROK finds the content!
News On Demand is a push service designed for the user who wants regular updates without having to remember to access the service. Users subscribe to a list of channel genres such as news, weather, sports and entertainment and receive updates via MMS or email, direct to their mobile. Each clip is a maximum of 60 seconds and is pushed to the user whenever updated (a maximum of 3 times a day). The nature of the push service increases active usage as content is sent only when an update is available. The user can choose to watch when received or at anytime thereafter. As the message is sent by MMS or email, the 60 second update is available to view until the user deletes it.
