Blockbuster movies such as Spider-Man 3 and TV shows such as TheApprentice have been mobilised. Mobile Streams expects its platform business togrow strongly in the future, as more major content owners select Vuesia as theirmobilisation engine and more content is made as readily available to consume onmobile devices as it is on TVs or PCs today.

The Company was selected to manage 3'scomedy channel in the UK, as well as Vodafone's games channel in Australia.
