ESPOO, Finland-Finnish broadcaster YLE is powering what it said is the first live TV broadcast for mobile users at an international sporting event.
The company is delivering footage from the IAAF World Championships track and field competition in Helsinki, Finland. Users can watch the real-time broadcasts on Nokia 7710 smart phones equipped with special receivers.
The DVB-H service builds on a mobile TV pilot in Finland that YLE launched with Nokia, MTV and several other companies earlier this year. Wireless viewers can also access CNN, BBC World and three other offerings through the service.
