Hiwire's High-Wire Act

August 29, 2006

That gives Hiwire some serious advantages. Hiwire can potentially transmit twice as many video channels as Qualcomm or Modeo, according to its own estimates. "They just have a wider pipe than anybody else," says John Barrett, an analyst with consultancy Parks Associates. MediaFLO folks say they aren't worried. "People watch three to five different channels," says Gina Lombardi, president of MediaFLO USA. "We think we can create the right service offering." Modeo declined to comment.
