Europe : The Swedish video content distributor Kamera has signed a Content Distribution Agreement with the leading telecom supplier Ericsson.

Inset is Dan Willstrand, Head of Sales at Kamera quoted below.

Through this partnership Ericsson will resell Kamera’s video services to mobile operators and other customers worldwide.

Kamera has been providing video content for online and mobile publishing since 1998. This market has grown significantly as broadband and 3G networks has been rolled out. Kamera’s video content includes news, entertainment and sports clips and the main source is the news agency Associated Press Television News.

The meaning of this Content Distribution Agreement is that Ericsson will resell Kamera’s mobile video service in conjunction with its hosting and managed service offering. For Kamera this means a dramatically increased sales power and reduced lead times for content delivery.

“Video is one of the hottest content products in the 3G networks and the number of clips downloaded by far exceed our expectations. Through this new cooperation with Ericsson we can roll out our mobile video service more quickly on a global scale” says Dan Willstrand, Head of Sales at Kamera.
