www.WirelessFederation.com/news: Optus 3G phone subscribers will now get to see live 2010 FIFA World Cup for free. The company has entered into a deal with FIFA (F©d©ration Internationale de Football Association) for the streaming of the live matches. Though the entire 3G mobile device already have the application, the iPhones will receive the solution for the broadcast before the World Cup kick starts in June 2010.

Footage captured by the cameras recording the game for the mobile phone form factor will be supplied by FIFA to mobile broadcasters. Unless there are two simultaneous games, all the operators will receive the same feed.

Optus said that it will give priority to the games played by Australian teams. Besides, it has also entered into another agreement with SBS, a television broadcaster for additional footage available from its “The World Game” program.

Bouygues adds 334,000 users in H1, revenue up 1%

On 08.15.06, In Mobile, By Editor
French mobile operator Bouygues Telecom had a stable turnover, up 1 percent to EUR 2.175 billion in the first half, compared to EUR 2.144 billion in the year-earlier period. The figure excludes the effect of Bouygues Caraibes, sold in April 2006. Net network revenues were stable at EUR 2.029 billion. Excluding the fall in call termination rates, Bouygues Telecom’s turnover would have risen by 6 percent, the company said. Bouygues praised the success of its Neo plan, introduced on 1 March, and offering unlimited calls to all operators.
The plan helped Bouygues add 334,000 customers in the first half. The company had 8.305 million customers at the end of June, or 10 percent more than a year earlier. It said it still has the market’s largest proportion of prepaid customers, 70 percent. Bouygues Telecom sister company, the broadcaster TF1, had revenue up 8 percent to EUR 1.377 billion in the first half, compared to EUR 1.277 billion a year earlier.
