Video Clips Over GSM Launched in Holland
Dutch mobile service provider TheRazor has launched a mobile video clip service in co-operation with internet portal Lycos, according to Mike Grenville for 160characters.org.
"The new service “Clips on Mobile” allows mobile users to download video clips on to their mobile phones.
The 15 to 30 seconds clips can be downloaded from the Lycos website and range from Music, Sport, to Fun and Babes clips. Once downloaded onto a mobile phone, the clips can be watched as often as the mobile user wants.
The uniqueness of the service is the quality of the images. All video clips (Dolby surround sound and images) have a data rate of 35 KB.
TheRazor has the right to use content from major content owners such as Playboy, Private, Dj Tiesto, Extrema, Veronica, Bridge Entertainment and PSV".
