Verizon's VCAST Gets ESPN MVP
The corpse of ESPN's ill-fated partnership with Sprint, ESPN Mobile, is still warm, having been killed off in December largely thanks to ridiculously expensive service plans. ($35 a month for 100 minutes? No thanks!) The service was expensive, but also offered unique and comprehensive features for sports fans.Luckily for those who want the latest sports information in their pockets, ESPN hasn't thrown in the towel on the mobile game. Today, the network announced a partnership with Verizon Wireless to deliver a wealth of sports content through the carrier's VCAST network. Called ESPN MVP, the new service includes video highlights from ESPN shows like 'SportsCenter' and 'Pardon the Interruption,' live access to fantasy sports leagues, team schedules, player updates, and of course a plethora of scoreboards.
Essentially, it's all the great stuff you got on your ESPN Mobile phone, but now you can also access the multitudes of other offerings on the Verizon deck.
The best part is there's no additional cost beyond the current V CAST subscription fees, which range between $15 and $25 a month depending on whether or not you want all-inclusive video. Between this and Universal's new Movie Minutes, Verizon is looking like the place to be for those who need their mobile content.
