The BBC will cover the Glastonbury Festival with camera phones
The BBC is ramping up its digital coverage of the The Glastonbury Festival this year with additional interactive TV, online and mobile services, reports Revolution Magazine.
Mobile phone WAP and PDA services will offer news, performer and schedules information on the move and the BBS has confirmed that it will use MMS. Producers and presenters will be able to take and send pictures on a mobile phone and then send them direct to the BBC website within a couple of minutes.
