Verizon Wireless launches live mobile TV
Cory Bergman March 1st, 2007
As previewed at CES, Verizon Wireless has just launched a broadcast TV service for mobile phones featuring live access to eight 24-hour channels: CBS Mobile, Comedy Central, ESPN, Fox Mobile, MTV, NBC 2Go, NBC News 2Go and Nickelodeon. The $15/month service went live in 20 markets including Seattle, Chicago, Dallas and Denver. VCast Mobile TV is delivered over a separate wireless network operated by Qualcomm, and it requires a new handset capable of receiving the broadcast signal. At the same time, MobiTV, which offers a similar service — although frequently at less quality — announced it had reached 2 million subscribers. Cingular/AT&T’s live TV service, MediaFlo, isn’t expected to launch until later this year.
