Singapore’s M1 to launch video streaming

SINGAPORE-MobileOne said it will launch a video streaming service Monday for its users with Nokia 3650 phones, making it the first operator in Singapore and one of the first in the world to offer the service. The launch follows M1’s video download service launch in March.

The operator said there are more than 20 music videos and movie trailers that customers initially can download from its mobile portal, and the service will eventually include an extensive library of content including cartoons, videos of catwalk models and live news.

The service will be available on M1’s GPRS network, and GPRS charges apply at about 1 cent per kilobyte.

Japan’s NTT DoCoMo Inc. launched a video streaming service this month on its third-generation network. Jordan’s Fastlink also offers video streaming over a GPRS network.
