Akoo's m-Venue Lets Mobiles Connect To TV Screens
The time is apparently right for Chicago-based Akoo International to officially launch its m-Venue network that, according to a New York Times story, “aims to transform mobile devices into universal remote controls that can select on-demand content from big-screen TVs in airports, bars and restaurants.”
m-Venue, which has been in trial since mid-2007, lets registered users send a text message to request a video to be played on the venue’s Akoo digital screen. The ad’supported service will then send a coupon or other promotion to the user in exchange for playing his request.
