Verizon scores Touchdown with NFL Mobile
With the cheerleaders chanting, "GO Big Red, GO Big Red," Verizon Wireless has scored a Touchdown by signing a deal with NFL Mobile. The service will debut with the draft next month which will include live, streaming video of the event with on-demand analysis from NFL Network. Once the 2010-11 season kicks off (pun intended), Verizon customers will receive RedZone, a service that alerts you when specific teams have moved inside the opponents 20 yard line (the "Red Zone"), and streaming broadcasts of the Sunday night and Thursday night game. Each NFL contest will be offered via streaming audio with your choice of picking the home or away team's play-by-play announcer. Also available will be on-demand video highlights, stats, analysis and fantasy football information. It certainly seems that Verizon has completed the bomb vs. Sprints' NFL package and spiked the ball in the pin-dropping network's face. With the draft coming up April 22-24, we should see how much demand there will be for this service. As we reported, Major League Baseball has had a huge hit with its At Bat app and the NFL should be taking in the big bucks as well. Pricing has not yet been disclosed, which gives us the opportunity to ask, how much would you pay for Verizon's NFL service?

They'll probably charge you a fee to have this feature, whereas it's included at no charge for Sprint if you have the Data Package.

Sprint does not have this package anymore. They didn't want to pay the NFL.

Without a doubt they are going to charge for this app. They didnt pay over $720 million to give it away for FREE!!!! Have fun with that Verizon customers. I am glad to see Sprint getting ESPN Mobile TV in place of this. I will take the 800 LIVE games they will be offering this year. Yes maybe 750 of them I might have no interest in but at least it offers the customers some choices. Women are buying these phones afterall as well. Best of all,, ESPN MOBILE TV IS FREE!!! http://www.cellphonewars.blogspot.com http://hubpages.com/hub/cellphone-critique/

you dont know that yet it hasnt been released! they dont even know what devices its on smartguy

26. theGodpapa posted on 10 Mar 2010, 08:14

v cast as a feature doesnt even exist anymmore, the only people that have that are people grandfathered into it and have not upgraded to a new phone. you can no longer offer it to anyone cause it doesnt exist as a current feature.

36. DonLouie posted on 10 Mar 2010, 17:53

so there's no tv pack anymore? When they dropped the vcast for $15 for capped tiers they also allowed unlimited tv/radio for $10 while still having rhapsody for $15. I see them charging another $10 for app, maybe $5

ill stick with sprint and it's free NFL package.you just can't beat free.

If Verizon has exuclive rights, I don't think Sprint will be having it much longer. I did get tired of seeing those dumb @ss add on madden 10 of sprint.

27. theGodpapa posted on 10 Mar 2010, 08:14

sprint doesnt have rights to sell this as a feature in their current line up, and anyone who has it now will expect to see it disappear pretty much any day now.

30. DonLouie posted on 10 Mar 2010, 09:35

You have no date on when this is over, it'll probably be active for Sprint until the next football event. The draft

I love how all of the people here so far who have mentioned that Sprint's NFL mobile is FREE, have "minus" points. VZW Fanboys can't except that Sprint's service is just as good as theirs, with lower prices. Sprint FTW, VZW charging the hell out of its customer for things like NFL mobile - FTL!

10. jogutier posted on 09 Mar 2010, 12:50

I love how Sprint's cust are as dumb as their cell phone provider. yoiu pay for things that you can't access have of the time. so a free app that doesn't work half of the time is good because it's free. Why don't you just sign up for metro, that's even cheaper.

12. numberonenygfan posted on 09 Mar 2010, 13:36

haha touche jogutier, the sprint customers are just broke jokers
