Mobile DRM Market Analysis and Forecasts

The Future of OMA, Proprietary and Microsoft DRMs in the Mobile Industry



This study focuses on emerging mobile rich media services, specifically with respect to digital rights management. It explores the steps the content industry, mobile operators and DRM vendors are taking to build this marketplace, and contains detailed analysis of OMA DRM and the ability of proprietary DRM vendors to succeed. Future inflection points, challenges for the convergence of content services between the PC, the STB and the mobile handset are also discussed, as well as their likely impact over the next five years on leading vendors such as Apple, Microsoft, NDS, BeepScience, CoreMedia and SDC, among others. Detailed market forecasts for that same period are provided for mobile DRM and mobile broadcast CAS. A vendor analysis compares all the leading mobile DRM vendors and ranks them relative to their peers.
