World Cup soccer games to be broadcasted on mobile phones
BERLIN, March 9 (Xinhua) -- The German telecoms giant, Deutsche Telecom, will broadcast 20 games of the 2006 FIFA World Cup for its mobile phone users in summer.
T-Mobile, the mobile wing of the German telecoms company Deutsche Telekom, is planning to broadcast 20 matches of the four- week tournament to be held in Germany, German radio Deutsche Welle reported Thursday.
Mobile phone customers will pay 2 euros a day, or 7.50 euros per month for the package, which will also include programming from MTV.
British mobile provider O2 is planning a similar venture to coincide with the World Cup, but with a smaller group of users.
There are about 80 million mobile phone users in Germany, but only 2.3 million have phones capable of exploiting the various features.
