Video contents for the mobile phone without 3G
March 28, 2003
A customer of Sonera can now watch videos with his mobile phone, if he
or she has got a phone that supports moving image. The offering of the
video pilot that continues until the end of May mainly consists of news
and music programmes.
The contents of the ongoing video pilot are produced by Sonera Plaza,
MTV3 and Nelonen. The offering includes Sonera Plaza's entertainment service's
(Kaista) music videos, MTV3's morning news and Nelonen's 4Pop. 4Pop is
a popular cultural special broadcast that only focuses on one theme at
a time with an in-depth approach.
Already in February Sonera launched products that transmit Internet material
to the customer's mobile phone. ”We want to offer our customers an opportunity
to be in the forefront of the development of mobile phone services. Along
with the video pilot, Sonera's all customers can watch on their own phone,
besides current news for example artists' interviews or the latest music
videos, already now, although the moving image in mobile phones is only
coming”, tells Product Development Manager Mikko Sairanen of Sonera.
The pilot videos can be watched with Nokia's 3650 phone that has the
RealOne Mobile player installed and with other GPRS phones that have the
RealOne player (it can be easily loaded from the Internet at www.real.com).
A new connection address must be created for the phone, because the watching
of videos requires the use of a connection type that differs from the
normal WAP connection. In practise, this means the disconnecting of the
WAP connection. The service guides in the definition and creation of the
necessary connection.
The video pilot is available to Sonera's all mobile phone customers free
of charge until 31 May 2003. No connection or monthly charges are collected
for the service. The use of the video pilot is so far charged in accordance
with the pilot pricing, i.e. the GPRS data transfer is free of charge
(0 euros). The video pilot is seen in Nokia's 3650 phone first at the
beginning of Sonera's WAP menu at the address wap.sonera.fi. In other
phones, for example Nokia's 7650 phone, the pilot is found at wap.sonera.fi
> uusimmat > videopilotti.
You get the WAP settings and the GPRS connection that are necessary for
the use of the video pilot easily with the text message: ASETUKSET NOKIA
phone model (example: ASETUKSET NOKIA 3650). The text message is sent
to number 15400. The sending of the message is free of charge. The WAP
services are instantly available, when the arrived settings have been
recorded to the phone.
