MobiTV now boasts partnerships with more than 20 operators across the globe, delivering more than 100 channels of video content. In addition, the company said it has entered into a multi-year extension of its deal with Sprint, promising a series of new features and enhancements including an improved user interface, greater support for full-screen viewing, accelerated channel change speeds and support for more devices.
