Sprint to offer full-length movie downloads

Using a mobile phone to buy movie tickets and check showtimes is one thing, but Sprint offers the whole movie. Reuters reports.

"Sprint Nextel Corp. is expected to announce on Monday that it has begun selling a service which allows users of its mobile video phones to watch full-length movies, television shows, concerts and comedy specials.

Provided by vendor MSpot, the service offers unlimited shows and movies for a monthly flat fee of $6.95, on top of regular service charges.

The announcement comes as Sprint and other wireless phone services are looking to video content like TV programs, music and sports to boost revenue."
