ESPN MOBILE • Sean Tigue • COMM. 115
MVNO’s • ESPN launched their MVNO in February 2006 to offer scores, highlights, alerts and video clips at the push of a button • MVNO means Mobile Virtual Network Operators • Big name companies like ESPN, Disney, Amped, 7-Eleven, and Virgin Mobile all offer MVNO’s • I chose this topic because in the near future MVNO’s will revolutionize the way we receive information • I gathered my research through articles within the Academic Search Premiere Database
Mobile ESPN • ESPN Mobile has its upsides and down sides • I found the realistic capabilities of the ESPN mobile products did not meet the expectations of consumers • In my opinion, ESPN’s attempt to provide a successful MVNO is a failure
Models • ESPN Mobile only offers two models for consumers to choose from • The Sanyo MVP • Priced @ $400.00 • WOW !!!
Models • The cheaper alternative is The Samsung Ace • priced @ $65.00
The Sanyo MVP 1.3 mega-pixel camera Speakerphone MP3 capability Stereo Phone The Samsung Ace Sleek thin design Digital Camera Large display screen Reasonable Price Intriguing Features
The Sanyo MVP Outrageous Price 16mb Memory Slow Downloading Time Poor Quality of Sound & Video Poor Service The Samsung Ace Poor Battery Life Poor Pricing Plans Slow Downloading time Poor Quality of Sound & Video Poor Service Durability Main Complaints for Both Models
Say No to ESPN Mobile….. • After all the Information I’ve found I do not recommend purchasing the ESPN Mobile Service & here are my main reason for this….. • Cost of service outweighs the benefits • Poor Service & quality • Variety of options are limited • Capabilities don’t realistically meet expectations
