The media and basketball fans will benefit from a partnership between the International Basketball Federation (FIBA) and mobile telephone company Nokia
The new mobile FIBA service will provide media and basketball enthusiasts with the opportunity to catch up on the latest scores, news, schedules and interviews when and where they want.
FIBA says the mobile service will be accessible through any mobile device that can access the Internet. Offering a comprehensive and user friendly mobile video experience, the FIBA mobile content will also be accessible through Nokia Video Center, currently available on Nokia N95.
“We are delighted to partner up with the world leader not just in mobile device hardware, but also the leader in developing the opportunities that mobile technology offers,” said FIBA Commercial Director Matthew Osmon. “We are particularly amazed by the video quality the new Nokia devices offer. The Nokia N93i is an ideal tool for our basketball reporters to, for instance, record video interviews with players and coaches.”
“We are very excited to work with FIBA to enable the global basketball community to stay up to date through the new mobile FIBA services,” said Harri Männistö, Director, Multimedia, Nokia. Nokia will provide FIBA reporters around the world with Nokia N93i multimedia computers to record high quality video, photo and audio content that will be made available on the FIBA mobile websites.
