With more than 140 entries received for this year's awards, competition has been intense. Fuugo stood out in the Mobile TV category because of its commercial potential, level of innovation, and likelihood of consumer adoption as assessed by an independent awards panel."

This is the TV-everywhere experience people have been waiting for, enhanced with compelling personalisation and smart content discovery.

Social media integration and best-in-class technical features are supporting these main targets. Fuugo already provides a great new way to watch TV and video, but this is just the beginning of our long-term product plans for this space."
