NTT DoCoMo to Offer Video Streaming Service for FOMA Phones
April 26, 2003
DoCoMo and its eight subsidiaries announced today that they will launch
M-stage V-Live service for FOMA videophones beginning May 1, 2003. M-Stage
V-Live is a one-to-many video streaming service that enables users to
download or stream a variety of live and archived content via 64 Kbps
circuit-switched wireless transmission. The new offering will be available
for P2101V, P2102V, D2101V, SH2101V, and T2101V FOMA handsets.
In April 2002, DoCoMo began studying the marketability of V-Live, conducting
trial services for FOMA phones and PDAs connected to PHS terminals. Following
the successful October launch of V-Live service for PDAs, the company
is now ready to offer the service to FOMA users as well. V-Live is expected
to become a key application for FOMA handsets, contributing to the wide-spread
proliferation of video communications content.
M-Stage V-Live provides both open and closed video content. Open "Free
Channel" content is available to all V-Live subscribers and includes music,
sports, news, animation and more. Only a data transmission fee is charged.
Closed "Member Channel" content is available exclusively to customers
of content providers or corporate users through the infogate portal site.
Examples of this content include security services (observation from a
remote location), English conversation lessons, internal information for
employees and more. In addition to data transmission costs, a basic infogate
subscription fee of 100 yen per month is charged for access to closed
content.
To view both open and closed content, users can dial specific M-Stage
V-Live access numbers or click the "AV phone to" icon on the official
i-mode website for connection to a designated videophone line (i-mode
usage charge of 150 yen per month is required).
Content providers have a choice of distributing live or archived video
content using digital compression technologies. System requirements for
distributing content include a server for streaming, a dedicated circuit
line/ISDN to connect DoCoMo's V-Live Center server and an encoder (content
provider may be required to pay system construction cost). A monthly fee
of 20,000 yen is required to distribute content. Content providers of
closed content systems will be charged a fee for CUG (Closed Users Group)
security (from 5,000 yen/month).
