FilmOn has recently agreed on a number of major content deals from the world of soccer, promising to bring live and post-live international soccer on the FilmOn delivery platform, streaming high quality television to mobile devices, computers, set top boxes and IP-enabled televisions.
In the past two years the market conditions for Internet-based television have grown dramatically, and analysts' predictions of Over The Top (OTT) Television, including Keegan/Minerva, are being realized. FilmOn is not only positioned to be the leader in this space but to dominate a large market share over its competitors.
FilmOn Global delisted its German offering in 2009 and has returned to the market almost two years to the day offering its European Division with an initial market capitalization of 59 Million Euros. Top-tier Frankfurt market specialist 886AG (886AG-Specialist) is handling FilmOn.com PLC stock.
FilmOn Founder and CEO Alki David, who is listed as the 45th richest man in the UK by the Times Rich List, stated in a keynote speech at the recent Credit Suisse Cable TV Conference in London, "Our Apple App is still topping the charts in Europe and as we conclude deals with more U.S. networks we expect our app's power to grow a deeper reach into the U.S. virtual cable TV space.”
