Multi-screening arrives with FIFA World Cup

FIFA World Cup

Indian soccer fans followed the just-concluded FIFA World Cup not just on television but also on the mobile and laptop. A study by Vdopia on the impact of online and mobile devices on fan interaction with the World Cup says that it is increasingly clear that dual screening on television and mobile devices has arrived. A typical consumer is watching the match, checking FIFA updates and sharing highlights of his favourite match on his mobile, updating them on Facebook, looking up for some information on their tablet or just sending an email— all during the same time. Mobile has become the second most preferred medium in Asia Pacific after television with 80 per cent respondents looking forward to multiscreen entertainment. The World Cup has been regarded as the ‘most social event ever’ with 250,000 Indian unique viewers visiting football sites everyday via the mobile.
