Broadcasters in China are yet to make significant inroads in the fields of IPTV and mobile TV as these new platforms struggle with regulatory and technology issues, plus doubts about their commercial viability.

David Wolf, President and Chief Executive Officer of Beijing-based corporate advisory firm Wolf Group Asia, says MySpace China has “the biggest pockets (and) can outspend and out-market any player in the business.”
