B2 Movie Network
B2 Movie Network (B2MN), of B2Digital, Inc. (BTDG.PK), is a provider of in-room entertainment
and information services to the domestic lodging industry. Our
services include the delivery of Hollywood movies, sports, and live
events, as well as various types of pay-per-view content. We
have installed and serviced over 50,000 hotel rooms. Primarily provide our services under long-term contracts to hotels,
hotel management companies and individually owned and franchised
hotel properties.
Our in-room entertainment and information services provided to
the lodging industry entail a wide array of services including
pay-per-view motion pictures, archived television content, games,
music, internet connectivity, guest programming of select pay cable
channels and an increasing array of interactive programs and
information services. Changes in technology have also allowed us the
ability to provide a number of on-demand interactive services such
as guest folio review, automatic checkout, survey completion, guest
messaging, video games, and internet service.
Ad Insertion Technology
In conjunction with our entertainment and information services,
we have recently begun to capitalize on the additional revenue
source provided by ad insertion technology. Ad insertion technology
allows us to produce revenues by selling commercial ad space which
is inserted into our in-room entertainment programming. While this
revenue source is common in the residential cable services market,
it is revolutionary in the hotel industry. We recently entered into
an agreement with Synergetic Technologies, Inc. (
http://www.adsystemscatv.com/hotel-video-advertising.html
OTC:SYGG), a provider of Digital Video Ad Insertion Technology, to
install its Ad Systems 8 channel digital ad insertion system to our
domestic lodging customer base. With the deployment of Ad Systems
digital ad insertion system, we can sell ad space to mainstream
advertisers, deploy per inquiry ads, and promote our pay-per-view
movies, all of which allows us to add to our top-line growth. With
our current combined customer base, we can effectively deliver
20,000 commercials to more than 100,000 travelers per month with
potential revenues exceeding $60,000 per month once the ad insertion
system is fully deployed. These new capabilities will give us a
unique marketing edge that will help grow our room base and increase
our overall revenues.

Services (http://www.multibandusa.com/)
