Virally growing advertising revenues and premium service subscriptions at a dramatic rate, FilmOn is automating online TV distribution and offering affiliate partners access to the most lucrative content business online. A Juniper Research study of the Mobile TV & Video market has found that by 2017, revenues from streaming and download services on mobile and tablet devices will reach $9.5 billion, up from $4.5 billion this year.

In less than five minutes affiliates can be up and running with their own web and mobile site branded with their corporate image preloaded with commercials and subscriptions packages. There are no setup charges and there are several options to add the content.

FilmOn, which today serves over one billion video streams a month, has partnered with the best ad networks and advertising agencies online, including Videology, Brightroll, Yume, Google, Evolve Media and many more.

In a simple step-by-step process, an Internet publisher can create their very own branded Live TV website which also works as a mobile app. In just a few minutes they can upload logos and custom backgrounds and be online selling subscriptions and delivering advertising to global or local audiences.

Hundreds of prolific web publishers and advertisers have embraced FilmOn's Live TV affiliate platform which comes bundled with a content library of over 600 linear live TV channels and 45,000 Video On Demand titles. Publishers include the likes of Lenovo/IBM, Blackberry, KM Player, TVGuide, Frostwire, and other major Internet publishers.

"FrostWire (over 500 Million installs) is one of the most popular file sharing applications on the net and, more recently, in the mobile world. From the start FrostWire has worked to level the playing field for content creators willing to offer free content online to an audience that enjoys free downloads. Partnering with FilmOn gives us an opportunity to offer free live TV content and entertain our worldwide community in a way previously unavailable with ease.

"Within just a few weeks of testing the FilmOn platform on our mobile users, we can see the value of live TV online. This is a really attractive offering which keeps our users coming back for more everyday. With an ever growing offering of channels and the affiliate platform, we think FilmOn has everything to become the equivalent of a worldwide cable TV network for the internet across all devices, something that could bring major disruption in the TV industry," Angel Leon, FrostWire Team.

Jim West, chairman of the NRB (National Religious Broadcasters Association) and co-chair of the Advanced Television Broadcast Alliance, says: "Currently, The WalkTV and their affiliates are pleased to partner with FilmOn who have taken 'over-the-top' TV to a whole new level. I can logon to my dashboard at our branded FilmOn TV sites. From the dashboard we can see the revenue generated from online ads and subscriptions but not from just our channels but six hundred others. I can then take the analytics and upsell our original broadcast property. We could not have better partners than FilmOn."

In a deeper dive into the technology, developers can use the FilmOn application programming interface (API) to develop their own applications, taking advantage of FilmOn's global video ad network and content offering. Additionally, social television such as Cavecast and BattleCam social webcam apps and services are integrated into the affiliate network to maximize viral networking and sharing power.

FilmOn licenses its content from many premium providers in the USA, Europe and elsewhere in the world. FilmOn geo-filters its distribution markets according to its agreements with content providers and that of its affiliate partners.

FilmOn is currently expanding into Asia, where FilmOn has partnered exclusively with Lenovo/IBM, the Chinese-owned PC maker as Lenovo's exclusive IPTV provider. Lenovo is the world's number one computer manufacturer with over 18% of the PC global market share.
