Satellite TV programmes ... on your mobile
By ZAM KARIM
KUALA LUMPUR: Maxis Communications Bhd has launched its Video Live service which allows its subscribers to watch current news or cool music video-clips on their mobile phones.
The company has signed a deal with Astro provider Measat Broadcast Network Systems Sdn Bhd that allows it to broadcast streaming videos of the satellite TV's CNBC and hitz.tv channels in real time to mobile phones.
"Our postpaid and prepaid customers will now be able to enjoy regional news and the latest music hits 'live' at any time and anywhere, from their mobile phones," Maxis chief operating officer Edward Ying said at the launch here earlier today.
"It's all about true convenience and accessibility," he added.
Maxis users can also check out prerecorded clips of programme highlights from channels such as AXN, National Geographic, AEC, and Astro hit shows like Akademi Fantasia; music videos from the Beatles, Chemical Brothers and Coldplay; and trailers of movies like Trauma and Gothika.
"These two channels and pre-recorded clips and trailers are only the beginning of this new innovative service. We are also working to obtains rights to other content such as live telecasts of sporting events like the upcoming Euro 2004 tournament, and many more," said Ying.
To access this new service, customers must own a mobile phone that supports video-streaming. So far, the service is only available on the Nokia 3650, 3660, 6600, 7650 and N-Gage, and Sony Ericsson P800 and P900 mobile phones.
Maxis customers will enjoy unlimited viewing of Maxis Video Live content for just RM10 a month, until Feb 29.
After this promotional period, customers will be charged according to the amount of data they download, at fees to be announced later, said Ying.
