Mobile and PC entertainment company mSpot delivers music, movies, radio and TV to more than six million mobile customers across 10 wireless carriers in North America, including Verizon, AT&T and Sprint.
The company, which actually has an earlier release window for new movies than Netflix does, also plans to show them at the same prices. In other words, mSpot is offering more recent movies than Netflix does, about matching Netflix’s all-you-can eat movie pricing. So some wonder if mSpot might e the next candidate to grab market share from Netflix and others in the streaming video business.
Daren Tsui, chief executive of Palo Alto, Calif.-based mSpot, says mSpot has been able to secure new release movies on the same day that studios release them on DVDs. Netflix, by contrast, has to wait as much as 28 days longer.
