ACCESS CO., LTD, a global provider of advanced software
technologies to the mobile, beyond-PC and digital TV markets, today
announced that it will launch its social video monetization
platform ACCESSMyTV at the 2012 International Consumer Electronics
Show (CES), January 10-13, Las Vegas. ACCESSMyTV is an open,
multi-screen social video platform for connected devices, which
allows for the monetization of free and premium web content, games
and apps. The solution leverages the consumption of web video to
create new revenue opportunities for content providers, consumer
electronics (CE) device manufacturers and service providers.
ACCESSMyTV creates deep consumer engagement and a viral marketing
dynamic through the creation of personalized web video channels
that can be shared with friends and family via social networks such
as Facebook and Twitter. This deep consumer engagement in turn
enables ACCESSMyTV to support highly targeted advertising. The
platform is the simplest and most powerful route to launching a
multi-screen OTT service, giving CE device manufacturers,
broadcasters and operators the opportunity to embrace the social TV
revolution and create new recurring revenues, said Dr. Neale
Foster, VP of Global Sales IA, ACCESS. ACCESSMyTV makes life easy
for operators, allowing them to launch a social TV service with an
abundance of content from the word go. The platform operator can
further serve the needs of the ever-hungry consumer by providing
them with access to free web video, premium content, games and
apps. Key Features Benefits The ACCESSMyTV platform is offered as a
white label service, which can be privately branded and deployed
globally on any connected CE device, while delivering low start-up
and running costs. At CES ACCESS will announce the partnership of
several hardware manufacturers who will be offering the platform
through their products. ACCESSMyTV fills the holes that other OTT
platforms cant, overcoming issues of technical device fragmentation
and rising to the challenges of multi-screen access to content,
said Kiyo Oishi, Chairman and CEO of ACCESS Europe and ACCESS
System Americas. This is exceptionally powerful when combined with
the way in which the platform meets the ever-growing desire of
viewers to share video across social networks. Social TV is set to
see an exponential rise in popularity over the next year and we
believe that ACCESSMyTV will be at the heart of this. About
