Sweden: The Mobile TV provider Kamera will launch a live streamed
TV-channel through Vodafone Sweden’s network. The channel, called
EXPRESSEN–TV, is a joint venture between Kamera and the leading
Swedish tabloid Expressen and will be launched 15 November
So far, Swedish
3G customers have been able to download or stream single video clips
using their mobile phones. The launch of EXPRESSEN-TV is a ground
breaking step towards a full scale television service via 3G, something
that has proved to be very successful in other Vodafone markets around
Europe.
“Surveys
show that TV through your mobile is one of the most attractive services
among 3G customers. Users want to kill time while commuting and look
for the latest news. EXPRESSEN-TV offers just that” says Henrik
Eklund, CEO of Kamera.

”Expressen
believes that Mobile TV will continue to grow. The cooperation
with Kamera makes it possible for Expressen to offer an exciting new
channel, filled with news, sports and entertainment, which we know
is of interest to our readers and viewers”, says Thomas Mattsson,
Editor in chief of Expressen New Media.
”We are
very happy to be the first to distribute EXPRESSEN-TV to our customers.
