Verizon Wireless, the No. 2 U.S. cellphone service, plans to start delivering live television to mobile phones early next year using a network being built by Crown Castle International Corp. (CCI.N: Quote, Profile, Research), an analyst said on Monday.
Verizon Wireless, a venture of Verizon Communications (VZ.N: Quote, Profile, Research) and Vodafone Group Plc (VOD.L: Quote, Profile, Research), already sends on-demand news and entertainment video clips to mobile phones as part of its effort to expand its services beyond voice phone calls.
Zachary Research analyst Patrick Comack said in a note to clients on Monday that Verizon Wireless plans to add to its media line-up by using tower operator Crown Castle’s network to send live TV to its phones in the first quarter of 2006.
