Wireless digital rights management (DRM) is a core enabler for wireless content
distribution and revenue generation. Wireless DRM refers to a combined network
and terminal based rights protection solution that enables controlled and secure
usage and distribution of digital content. Key wireless players across the value
chain including mobile network operators, solutions providers, content owners,
equipment vendors and end-users are all integral in implementing DRM solutions,
and moving this market forward with industry-wide standards and
interoperability.
This report contains a detailed analysis of the wireless DRM value chain. The
importance of DRM is such that it transcends the value chain in terms of
implementation and revenues. This report profiles a cross section of notable
companies and early movers from each of these categories, looking at the
relationships that are emerging today and how these will take shape as the DRM
market develops. As the wireless DRM market is so new, market drivers and
restraints are another key area of analysis and strategic recommendation.
