  • Viacom International buys majority stake in Youtube LATAM content producer

    MUMBAI: Viacom International Media Networks (VIMN) has announced a definitive agreement for the acquisition of a majority interest in Porta dos Fundos. The acquisition will add one of Brazil’s leading short-form comedy content producers and the most influential global YouTube channel, according to the Zefr ranking*, to the Viacom portfolio, expanding the company’s scale in Latin America and further extending its content creation pipeline.

    Under the terms of the transaction, VIMN has an option to further increase its ownership position in Porta dos Fundos in the future.

    Porta dos Fundos, founded by Fabio Porchat, Antonio Tabet, João Vicente de Castro, Ian SBF and Gregorio Duvivier in 2012, is a leading video production company in Brazil known for creating short-form comedy sketches and television programming. Owned and operated by the company, the Porta dos Fundos YouTube channel is also a top 10 global Most Subscribed Entertainment channel** and currently has over 13 million subscribers. The channel recently surpassed three billion video views, making it the fifth most viewed Brazilian video producer on YouTube**. The combination of Porta dos Fundos with VIMN’s popular pay TV networks, which include Comedy Central, MTV, Nickelodeon and Paramount Channel, further strengthens VIMN’s position in Brazil.

    VIMN Americas president Pierluigi Gazzolo, who will oversee the business, commented: “As we continue to build scale in the Latin American region, our investment in Porta dos Fundos furthers our commitment to the Brazilian market and increases our ability to create innovative content, often native to digital platforms, which will complement our existing Viacom brands and capabilities. The talent and creativity showcased by the founding members of Porta dos Fundos in building this brand is impressive, and we are excited to join forces to expand its presence outside of Brazil via our highly successful network of brands around the world. We firmly believe that content ownership is a key driver of success and are happy to add this new dimension to our portfolio.”

    Porta dos Fundos CEO Tereza Gonzalez says: “The partnership with VIMN couldn’t make us happier. The venture is a big step for the group towards expanding into the international market, with new global opportunities for our portfolio both on and offline. Additionally, the deal provides exceptional distribution channels for our content.”

    The Porta dos Fundos founding team has built a powerhouse in the Brazilian comedy genre with innovative content and a tremendous creative vision that will continue to drive the company’s growth and further advance the partnership. Through this venture, VIMN and Porta dos Fundos will collaborate on various new productions in an effort to further strengthen the creative pipeline of original content for the brands’ linear and non-linear platforms. Given VIMN’s strong history in the comedy genre with Comedy Central, one of the company’s flagship brands, this pairing is a great complement and will provide countless opportunities in this area. Previously, the companies worked together on the coproduction of Portatil, a five part series that showcased Porta dos Fundos’ theater show and aired on Comedy Central Brazil in 2016.

    This acquisition will build on Viacom’s long and successful track record of investment in Brazil, which began with the launch of MTV in 1990. Viacom’s portfolio in the market now includes seven branded pay TV networks, including Comedy Central, Paramount Channel, VH1, Nickelodeon and Nick Jr., among others; a suite of authenticated TV Everywhere mobile applications; multiple on-the-ground events and experiences; and an extensive consumer products catalogue. VIMN has maintained a local office in São Paulo since 1998. Given VIMN’s recent acquisition of the number one free to air channel in Argentina, Telefe, and its robust portfolio of pay TV networks, Porta dos Fundos further expands the company’s presence on all media distribution and content creation platforms.

    Porta dos Fundos’ assets also include other YouTube channels, the portadosfundos.com.br website, an extensive library of short-form clips, several television series, multiple mobile applications and games, as well as a line of consumer products.

  • OpenSignal too finds Airtel better than Jio in 4G speed, latter tops in reach

    MUMBAI: Bharti Airtel is the top performer among the mobile service providers in India in terms of 4G data speed, concluded a report by OpenSignal, a provider of insights into coverage and performance of mobile operators worldwide.

    OpenSignal said its survey was based on 1.3 billion measurements from 93,464 customers on the major wireless networks between December 2016 and February 2017. It stated that Airtel’s average 4G speeds came in at 11.5 Mbps. In second slot was Vodafone at 8.59 Mbps and Idea was the next with speeds of 8.34 Mbps. Jio was fourth, with speeds down to 3.92 Mbps. This clearly showed that Airtel still continues to be the best network of India.

    All the carriers were found to be below the current 17.4 Mbps global average for 4G download speeds.

    However, Jio customers were able to get an 4G signal from its network 91.6 per cent of the time. Idea came in second place at 59.45 per cent, Vodafone was third at 59.05 per cent, and Airtel came in fourth in this category with 54.72 per cent.

    Global internet speed test platform Ookla, based on web and app platforms, had recently shown Airtel as the top 4G high-speed internet provider in India. But, the report was questioned by Jio. Earlier this week, TRAI released a report suggesting Jio was the fastest 4G high-speed internet provider, while Airtel was the third-fastest.

  • B’band deployment & investment barriers: FCC to develop state and civic govt codes

    MUMBAI:  United States Federal Communications Commission (FCC) chairman Ajit Varadaraj Pai has delivered his ideas at the first meeting of the commission’s broadband deployment advisory committee.

    “Last September, at a startup accelerator in Cincinnati, I outlined my Digital Empowerment Agenda, a non-partisan blueprint for communications policy.  At the core of this agenda was my conviction that every American who wants high-speed Internet access should be able to get it.  I suggested several concrete proposals for achieving that goal—for promoting broadband deployment across the country and closing the digital divide.  One proposal was for the FCC to create a Broadband Deployment Advisory Committee — a panel of experts that could advise us on these issues.  How marvelous it is to see this idea put into practice starting this morning!  And it is quite fitting that this first meeting is taking place during Infrastructure Month here at the Commission.”

    “Deploying broadband is hard, expensive, and time-consuming work, whether you’re trenching fiber, attaching equipment to poles, or setting up a gateway earth station.  Red tape shouldn’t make those tasks even harder.  To me, it’s pretty simple: With rules that make it easier to deploy broadband, we will see more broadband deployed.  And in turn, we can empower millions of Americans with digital opportunity,” Pai said.

    “Now, when we issued a call for nominations to serve on the BDAC back in January, I was expecting a few dozen applications.  I couldn’t be more thrilled at how wrong my prediction was. Over 380 individuals applied.  There were nominees from organisations large and small, representing industry, government, and consumer and community organizations.  From this diverse and highly impressive pool of applicants we invited 29 to serve on this new committee.”

    “You are innovators and leaders in the effort to bring broadband and next-generation networks to all parts of our nation.  Your work connects rural and urban areas alike, links people across land, air, and sea, and turns today’s dreams into tomorrow’s realities.”

    “As members of the BDAC, your mission is to give the FCC recommendations on ways to spur broadband deployment and reduce barriers to investment.  One important part of this work, which I previewed last fall, is to develop model codes for state and municipal governments that want to encourage deployment and competitive entry in their jurisdictions.”

    “In fact, the BDAC is being asked to develop two model codes — one for municipalities and another for states.  In developing each, the goal should be guidelines that are forward-looking and fair, and that balance legitimate interests of state and local governments with the ever-growing demands of the American public for better, faster, and cheaper broadband.  I look forward to seeing how you approach this challenge.”

    “The BDAC will also be asked to make recommendations on how to promote competitive access to broadband infrastructure, including utility poles.  New concepts, such as “one-touch make-ready” and “right-touch make-ready,” have great potential to streamline the pole attachment process. The BDAC could help identify solutions for easing access that preserve public safety and advance the interests of pole owners and (would-be) users.”

    “Another key issue is speeding up broadband deployment on Federal lands.  Right now, it takes about twice as long to site infrastructure on Federal lands as it does on privately held land.  Shortening that timeline could help prove the business case for deployment in areas where it might not otherwise exist.  Here, BDAC recommendations could have a major impact on closing the digital divide, especially for rural and Tribal residents who live on or near Federal lands.”

    “The thicket of issues I’ve identified makes one thing clear: the BDAC has a lot of work ahead of it.  But I’m certain that this distinguished group is more than up to the task.  And in the coming weeks, I expect to appoint more qualified nominees to round out the working groups, lending further support to the cause.”

  • Age-appropriate ‘safe’ content is taken from Nat Geo Kids, Sony & Amar Chitra: Shirsa

    MUMBAI: Shirsa, a company specialising in enabling content publishers to engage-new age kids online and offline, has taken care of parental concerns on content and safety over internet and time spent on digital devices. The contents are age-appropriate and are based on user behaviour from renowned content partners such as National Geographic Kids, British Council, Amar Chitra Katha, Sony Music India, TED Ed and more,” said Shirsa co-founder and CEO Sukhada Tendulkar.

    As the kids’ television time is shifting to internet based devices, the time spent by them on the online devices is continuously on the rise. At the same time parents want their kids to learn from every interaction on the internet. This encouraged Tendulkar and Mandar Desai to start Shirsa as a ‘Kids Engagement Company’ which is primed to encourage children to be curious and have fun.The opportunity Shirsa sees is engaging kids globally, through interactive edutainment which includes entertaining content with educational value, gamification, interactive features offered through multiple platforms.

    While it all starts with the brain, Shirsa has consciously correlated itself to being curious and as we know – Curious is fun. There is no better way to get kids involved in learning than getting them curious. Curiosity is nothing but an appetite for knowledge. It is the spark behind ideas, ideas that ignite reasoning and great learning. Today’s children or the ‘digital natives’ (children of digital era, always surrounded by technology) have access to technology at their fingertips. Digital music, video players, mobile phones, video games and the like have changed the way we receive and process information! Fundamentally, they ‘think’ differently than the previous generations. And that’s a greatest challenge as well as a boon when it comes to building educational tools for kids. Challenge – because the content has to compete with the round-the-clock ‘edutainment’ kids live with and be exciting and engaging enough to grasp the attention of the kids. And a boon – because kids love anything digital and anything that come through a laptop, a tablet or a phone, they are happy to experiment with.

    Shirsa is currently engaging children aged 6 to 15 years through innovative plus safe digital products and services in collaboration with parents, educationists and partners. Each online platform is created basis a deep understanding of the transforming nature of knowledge consumption in order to gratify the ever-changing needs of hungry young minds.

    PlanetOfGui.com is a social platform that inspires kids aged 6 to 15 years to be curious learners while having fun with engaging content. While Newspik.in is a digital newspaper sharing bite-sized news, city events and non-fictional articles for children. The news topics range from nature to science and technology, from entertainment to sports stories from across the world.

    Both the platforms are gamified wherein every activity of the child is rewarded with Geekos, our virtual currency. These Geekos can then be redeemed against buying real products, unlocking social features, customizing avatar, and getting freebies at your doorstep.

    Shirsa Enhance is the co-scholastic solutions vertical of Shirsa Labs that specializes in developing products that are child friendly, real-world relevant and easy to implement in schools. Our life skills product will make the child ready for the future along with preparing him or her to tackle any challenges in their life.

    Shirsa Engage is the events vertical of Shirsa Labs, specializes in conceptualizing and organizing large-impact kids events & school contact programs for brands. It creates engaging experiences for students, parents and educators through the help of brands. Shirsa Connect is the digital vertical of Shirsa Labs, specializes in enabling content publishers to engage digitally with kids aged 6-15 years through its multiple products. As Children’s preferences are evolving, it wants to cover the relevant Digital & Tangible touchpoints of a kid’s life through branded content engagement.

    Tendulkar said, “The Shirsa Parent App allows to set-up time duration for the child to be online. They can also monitor their growth, inclination and learning style through the App.”

    It’s the time when digital revolution is entering every aspect of life. It’s only prudent to let our children explore and experience the full learning potential of digital medium, within a safe and protected environment. With educational platforms like PlanetofGui and Newspik; children, parents, teachers and brands are to benefit equally from the innumerable fun ways to engage and enlighten the young minds.
