DOCoMo unvails a streaming vidio FOMA service. Probably this is for the World Cup and an effort to catch KDDI.

V-Live Trial Service Provides Video Streaming to
FOMA Phones

date: April 25, 2002

NTT DoCoMo announced today the launch of a one-to-many video
streaming trial service called V-LiveTM. The service will be provided via
the third-generation mobile network and will stream both live and archived
video content to FOMA phones and PDAs connected to PHS phones.

Last September, a DoCoMo-led consortium began testing the platform,
developing service applications and studying the marketability of the
service. With the trial service, both open and closed content will be
offered.

Open content will be accessible from May 15, 2002, on the official V-Live
content menu and available to all V-Live subscribers. Content will include
music, sports highlights, news, animation, tourist information and more.

Closed content will be available exclusively to the customers of content
providers or members of corporate users. Examples of this content include
English conversation lessons, internal information for employees, security
services (observation from a remote location) and investor relations tools.
Content providers or corporate users of closed-content systems will be
charged a fee for system construction.

The V-Live platform enables video and data content to be transferred in
the Real-time Transport Protocol (RTP) and converted into the 3G-324M
format for compliance with FOMA video-enabled phones. The platform
employs the MPEG4 standard for data encoding and the AMR standard for
voice encoding, so providers can offer content both to FOMA phones and
various types of PDAs connected to PHS phones.

Content providers and end-users who wish to take part in the V-Live trial
service should submit an application to any DoCoMo branch office or MVL
Users Center. Applications will be accepted by DoCoMo from April 26 and
by DoCoMo's eight regional companies beginning May 15, 2002.

The application form is available (in Japanese only) at any DoCoMo
branch office or DoCoMo website. Users can also request the application
form to be sent via mail by calling the MVL Users Center at 0120-215-360,
Monday to Friday from 10:00-18:00 (closed weekends and holidays). The
center will also answer any questions.
