ESPN Mobile TV

Today, ESPN is making another push, this time with cell phones, to offer subscribers a personalized, sports-focused alternative to the big national cell phone operators. And just like at the dawn of cable, ESPN has company -- other rivals poised to take on the established likes of Verizon, Sprint and Cingular.
Pretty soon, a sports fan will be able to watch SportsCenter, follow a fantasy football player and get live updates of NFL games. A hip-hop aficionado will tune into the latest video from Kanye West. Techno-geeks could watch live satellite television on the go while Spanish speakers could send text messages and get customer support services in Spanish. It will all happen on specially designed cell phones.
Mobile ESPN is part of a new breed of cell phone carriers called mobile virtual network operators that buy wholesale minutes and data from the large cell phone carriers and then use them to sell cell phones and service for a niche audience.
Theoretically, the partnership helps a cell phone carrier expand its customer base at minimal cost while opening the door to new opportunities for profit for the network operator.
There's a potential downside: The niche operators are banking that enough subscribers will buy the new product, which can cost as much $400 for a handset and $65 for monthly service.
In addition to Mobile ESPN, the companies set to begin service this year include ESPN's parent company, Disney; Amp'd, an Irvine cell phone carrier that goes after young people; and Helio, a Los Angeles partnership between EarthLink and SK, the leading cell phone company in South Korea.
They join established companies like Virgin, the first large virtual operator, prepaid calling plan Tracphone Wireless and Movida, a new service for Spanish speakers.
