GoConnect Goes Live With Online Adult Video Subscription
Services
GoConnect Ltd today launched two new premium Adult Entertainment
channels as partof its m-Vision and GoTrek video subscription services. While
online marketing of thenew services has commenced as of last night, it is pleasing to
see that GoConnect hasalready started receiving subscriptions internationally.
Richard Li, Chairman of GoConnect, says “Branded as The Adult
Channel and RainbowAdult Channel, these two new premium channels will add to the
video subscriptionservice options already available to Pocket PC device users
under the m-Vision platform,as well as now to the fixed line Internet GoTrek EV and Ourworld
TV users. The serviceallows the consumers to subscribe to selected video channels
over a 3, 6 or 12 monthsubscription period for a subscription price as low as $13 per
month depending on theterm of subscription selected.”
“In order to subscribe, consumers have a number of simple
navigational paths to choosefrom while online in the fixed line environment via their PC or
via their Pocket PCdevices. The subscription process involves the consumers
selecting their preferredcontent package and then going through a billing system. Once
the credit card details areentered and the transactions have been successfully processed,
the service is activatedautomatically.”
The new premium channels offer adult entertainment both on the
m-Vision platform forPocket PC users as well as the GoTrek platform for consumers who
wish to use theirdesktop PCs as the receiving devices. GoTrek is GoConnect’s
unique, and patentedsoftware application, which enables people to receive
interactive, TV quality videoirrespective of their Internet connection speed.
“We have thousands of people who currently use GoTrek to
receive video content on thefixed line Internet. What has now changed is the addition of a
subscription service forpremium video content,” explains Mr Li. “I don’t think it
is news to anyone that adultentertainment is something that people want and are prepared to
pay for. Our content israted to or equivalent to “R 18+” and it carries all the
appropriate warnings and filters.”The two new adult entertainment channels launched today include
The Adult Channel,and The Rainbow Adult Channel for the Gay community. Mr Li
explains, “In respect ofThe Rainbow Adult Channel, it should be understood that we
already have a very strongaffiliate relationship with Gaydar which owns and manages a
number of the most popularonline Gay properties based out of the United Kingdom. They have
a very largemembership base and will enable The Rainbow Adult Channel to be
directly marketed toover two million members of theirs around the world. To
celebrate the launch of theRainbow Adult Channel, the first 1,000 subscribers to this
channel before 30 September,2003 will also be entitled to a 50% discount on the normal
retail subscription price.”“Over the coming months, GoConnect will also offer a range of
additional premiumvideo channels including music, sports and business, to cater to
a variety of differentconsumer tastes. With the advent of national wireless broadband
services to Australiawithin a few months, and further assisted by the already
substantial fall in Pocket PCprices over the past 12 months, the days are fast approaching
that GoConnect’s m-Visionmay well be converting even the $400 to $500 Pocket PCs into “video
walkmans”,enabling the m-Vision subscribers to update and watch their
video content any time,anywhere, at near to real time. In the process, this may well
unleash the next major salesboom in Pocket PCs as m-Vision subscribers use them as mobile
entertainment devicesas well as for their existing business applications. ”
