Giga Entertainment Media (“GEM”or Company) started out in the technological development, ownership and operations of digital wireless television systems and FCC bandwidth licenses. The company evolved and transitioned into creating the most consumer friendly multi-tasking technology that brings a limitless cornucopia of simultaneous digital entertainment and interactive communications.
The breakthrough technology allows subscribers to enjoy up to 30 simultaneous video or data streams on any broadband device worldwide. The viewing experience is revolutionary as the viewer or groups of viewers are able to multi-task and interact with their friends or social circles by enhanced user functionality. This includes full live cable channel lineups, movies, web surfing, emailing, social networking, texting, blogging, single or multiple live personal/group chatting/conferencing, video games, DVR all in HD on simultaneous multiple PIP (picture-in-picture) expandable/shrinking/movable floating screens, buy now option with advanced programming guide, scrolling newsfeeds and alerts all on one site. GEM's platform is not device restricted as long as the device has access to the internet, the subscriber has the most optimized convenient digital experience at their fingertips. There is no need to purchase any clumsy equipment. The timing is excellent for GEM to capitalize on the new age of social multi-tasking TV as it is unrivaled. The launch is slated for this Fall when all the features become available on all mobile devices.
The primary function of the Company is to provide worldwide cable/satellite/Telco companies and their subscribers as well as other video/broadband/IPTV providers such as Netflix, Hulu, Google, Amazon, etc.
The GEM platform provides three distinct competitive advantages.
First, the GEM platform is unique in its capability for allowing transmission and receipt of multiple (30) synchronized content streams that allows the viewer to continuously modify and control the viewing and communication interfaces in real time by adjusting the location and the size of the various viewing windows.
Second, the GEM platform is configured with an emphasis on maximizing the efficacy of interactive communication to and from the viewer or multiple viewers simultaneously, thereby facilitating targeted advertizing, real time micro purchasing and integration of social networking components into the viewing experience.
Third, GEM is perfectly positioned to facilitate a White Label licensing infrastructure enhancement for existing video providers such as cable, satellite and Telco in a manner that constitutes a quantum leap for a provider seeking to take advantage of some of the current consumer demand trends in the marketplace today. GEM’s technology provides the subscribers of the White Label partners with a huge technological advantage over their competition and the ability to compete on the basis of superior technological capabilities as opposed to solely on the basis of price. This infrastructure based approach or White Label model positions GEM to work in a complimentary fashion with the thousands of providers worldwide, rather than trying to supplant or directly challenge them by directly siphoning off existing subscribers.
It is very important to understand that GEM is providing a multitude of unique interactive viewing/communication technological enhancement features to cable, satellite, Telco, other providers and their subscribers to their existing live programming, VOD and movie lineup. GEM does not have to acquire its own expensive programming which translates into a very lucrative margin in its financial structure. All of the live content, VOD, movie, etc. already exists from the providers. The foregoing analysis applies primarily to the White Label licensing GIGANETTV business model of GEM. The current downward trend in subscribership is being driven by massive dissatisfaction with the traditional television distribution providers. The GEM unique technology platform, deployed as a White Label license infrastructure enhancement to support existing cable, satellite, Telco and others such as Netflix or Hulu stands to generate substantial licensing revenue for GEM and substantial recurring subscription-based revenue for GEM's licensees. There is absolutely no equipment to buy or additional cost to the end subscriber.
White Labeling
GEM is in the process of “White Labeling” or licensing the unique platform technology as a tool to global cable, satellite distributors and other content providers as “GIGANETTV” – The WHITE LABEL BRAND FOR B2B. The addition of the GIGANETTV Brand and technology to these platforms provides operators and their subscribers with a much needed added value interactive multi-tasking unique viewing experience.
The Company receives an upfront Licensing fee in the range of $2.5 M to $20M depending upon the number of subscribers that operator currently services. A monthly per subscriber fee from $.15 to $.25 is attached to the ongoing licensing agreement. The mid-sized video cable, Telco, etc. market is defined as subscriber levels ranging from 150,000 to 1M subscriers. There are thousands (5000 plus) of these providers worldwide that are losing market share and require a solution to their challenges. GEM’s unrivaled technology provides the cost effective solution. It is a captive market due to the evolution of the online video growth. As part of GEM’s strategic multiple-revenue stream model, the company is concentrating on immediate “white labeling” partnerships of its technology which is focused on monetizing it by driving substantial revenue streams from licensing transactions. The company has in place key management personnel that have a very successful track record of completing substantial numbers of programming and contractual agreements with the largest operators as well as mid-size content distributors on a global basis.

In the past 15 years the rapidly changing landscape of the Internet has changed the way we work, the way we play, the way we communicate and the way we seek entertainment. Technology has advanced in leaps and bounds, not just anticipating our needs but creating them. One glaring exception is the television industry. Reference the "Decline of the Cable Industry" suite of articles, e.g., Comcast - $2.2 trillion Nightmare.
Cable and satellite providers have failed to provide any meaningful service enhancements or flexibility to justify their rate increases. As a result subscribers are “cutting the cord” in record numbers, opting instead to rely on video on demand/subscriber video on demand (VOD/SVOD) services such as Netflix, Hulu, or Amazon Prime. More commonly, consumers are instead “fraying the cord” – downgrading their subscriptions while signing up for comparatively low-cost SVODs in an attempt to supplement the conventional television providers. Still, this is an unsatisfactory option, as consumers are forced to pay a combined average of $150/month for a surplus of unwanted programming and a lack of flexibility.
For further clarification, confirmation and substantiation of these facts, please refer to the business plan and the other documents so that you can now see for yourself what is actually occurring in your world of communnication and how it affects you directly.
