Olympic Games 'will be available on the mobile'
People who are travelling abroad during the 2012 Olympics will still be able to watch all the action on their mobile phone, according to one expert. Over the next four years it is likely that mobile broadband and technology will improve so much that watching the men's 400m will be as natural to mobile phone users as sending a text.
Those who are in another country for the London Games will not only be able to watch it on their phone but afterwards make cheap international calls to friends and family to discuss their favourite event.
Mobile phone operators are currently said to be in discussions over what the best technology would be to take the Games into the mobile generation.
Orange and T-Mobile are said to be backing TDtv which will this summer start to offer people in west London 24 channels on their mobile phone as part of a pilot project.
Jake Redford, the head of mobile TV at Orange, said: "We need to make this technology a success, and the only way to do that is to get the vast majority of operators to join."
Currently mobile operators stream programmes over 3G, but this has certain limitations which TDtv does not.
