It looks as though 3 Mobile's coverage of the First Test was a success with the company serving up more than 270,000 live streams of the action. The company's servers will be working over time today too, with the start of the Second Test kicking off in Adelaide. During the First Test at Brisbane's Gabba 3 Mobile customers accessed more than 380,000 Ashes Series moments. These included live streams, video highlights, match reviews, alerts, games, tones and more . But the 270,000 live streams must give Mobile content developers cause to take heart demonstrating that if content is compelling enough, users are quite willing to use their handsets to access it. During the 05/06 season customers had viewed over 500,000 live streams in total. With over 270,000 live streams already accessed in the first 5 days, that high is set to be well and truly broken. 3 customers can get all the 3 mobile Ashes Series action for $5 per month or A$1 a day. www.three.com.au Related news items Ericsson To Build Vodafone HSPA -06/03/2008 Consumer Advice For Premium Mobile Services -03/09/2007 Fujitsu LifeBook - 12.1 inch; 11 hours; 1.53kg -21/08/2007 Australian Idol Live On Next G -19/08/2007 Value-Conscious AND Fujitsu LifeBook? -17/04/2007 Newer news items Huawei Latest To Whitelabel Mobile Music -18/02/2007 Ericsson Signs Music Deal -22/01/2007 02 Ireland Launches Napster Mobile -12/12/2006 Vodafone Begins Bundling 3G TV -07/12/2006 Mobile DRM Company Readies For Media Boom -05/12/2006 Older news items Vodafone, Yahoo!
