The trial service will allow customers to view live broadcasts from CNBC Europe, the financial and business news network.
BT says the service can be accessed from a range of mobile devices using the telco’s ‘Fastnets’ technology and content management platform. Users register for the service online and pay using their credit or debit cards for daily or monthly access.
"This is the first pan - European mobile video service offering live broadcast services so we are delighted that CNBC Europe chose us to provide it,” said Peter Jones, chairman and CEO of newmediacom's parent company, Phones International Group. “We will be making this service available to an ever increasing range of mobile phones and PDAs.”
Newmediacom provides managed video technology for network operators, media companies and ISPs that want to launch mobile video services.
CNBC Europe, owned by NBC Universal and Dow Jones, is a pan-European financial and business channel dedicated to the European financial services industry and investors.
