Verizon Wireless sis launching m.vcast.com, a new site that brings V CAST Video content to the mobile web. With m.vcast.com, customers can sample what V CAST Video has to offer by watching clips of the latest content added to the site.
Leveraging the streaming video capability of the HTML Web
browser on select handsets and the growing popularity of mobile video, m.vcast.com
allows customers to browse content by category, channel or show, then
watch and share that video with their friends and other wireless
users. Customers can create a username and account, which gives them
the ability to access and share other content and Web sites, including
the social networking site Twitter.
Customers can find m.vcast.com
by launching Mobile Web from their handsets, clicking on the
Entertainment channel, then clicking on Videos where it appears with
other great choices that incorporate streaming video, including YouTubeTM. The Mobile Web site is currently available on Verizon Wireless phones with HTML browsers, including the VoyagerTM by LG and the LG DareTM. More devices with HTML browser capabilities are expected to be available soon.
Buzzwire, a Mobile Web application company, is working with Verizon Wireless to develop and deliver m.vcast.com.
Unlimited Mobile Web usage is included with a $15.00 monthly V CAST
VPak subscription, which also includes access to V CAST Video, V CAST
Music and Get It Now® applications. Alternatively,
customers can access Mobile Web for free with a Nationwide Plan but
will incur usage charges of $1.99 per megabyte.
