Mobil: das Festnetz stirbt

„Menschen verbrauchen immer mehr Datenvolumen – Festnetzminuten sinken – Die Nutzung von Smartphones nimmt stetig zu, das Datenvolumen steigt – und Festnetztelefonie ist rückläufig, meldet die Bundesnetzagentur. – Die mobil telefonierten Minuten hingegen stiegen in den letzten Jahren noch stetig leicht an, in diesem Bereich liegen allerdings noch keine Zahlen für 2019 vor. 2018 wurde vom Mobilfunk aus rund 118 Milliarden Minuten telefoniert – und damit telefonierten die Bundesbürger erstmals mehr mobil als ‚klassisch‘.“

IGTV Monetarisierung

Instagram prototypes letting IGTV creators monetize with ads – Instagram may finally let IGTV video makers earn money 18 months after launching the longer-form content hub. Instagram confirms to TechCrunch that it has internally prototyped an Instagram Partner Program that would let creators earn money by showing advertisements along with their videos. By giving creators a sustainable and hands-off way to generate earnings from IGTV, they might be inspired to bring more high-quality content to the destination. – The program could potentially work similarly to Facebook Watch, where video producers earn a 55 percent cut of revenue from ‚Ad Breaks‘ inserted into the middle of their content.“
