By Calvin Azuri, TMCnet Contributing Editor

Verizon (News - Alert) Wireless V CAST Mobile TV service allows customers to watch sporting events, breaking news and their favorite network TV shows.




V CAST Mobile TV now offers programming that includes:
·        Late Show with David Letterman
·        24
·        Dora the Explorer

The service offers full length shows and mobile television content from:
·        CBS Mobile

·        ESPN (News - Alert) Mobile TV
·        Fox Mobile
·        MTV
·        NBC 2GO
·        NBC News2GO and

The service also comes with parental control features; hence parents can monitor and restrict the programs their children view.
“This goes way beyond any other video offerings in the wireless market right now. No buffering. No lag time. It’s like flipping on your television at home. You absolutely have to see it to believe the quality of this service,” Rich Garwood (News - Alert), Region President for Verizon Wireless, was quoted as saying in the report.

V CAST Mobile TV from Verizon Wireless is powered on the FLO TV service from MediaFLO USA, a wholly owned subsidiary of Qualcomm (News - Alert) Incorporated. Because MediaFLO USA operates a dedicated multicast network that delivers programming in a linear format, Verizon Wireless can offer customers the latest in mobile entertainment without impacting its award-winning voice and data services.

Features available in Verizon Wireless include:
  • Text, Picture, and Video Messaging
  • Basic Voice Mail with Message Waiting Indicator
  • Caller ID
  • Call Waiting
  • 3-Way Calling
  • Call Forwarding
  • No Answer/Busy Transfer
  • 411 Connect
  • International Roaming/Calling
  • Mobile Web 2.0
In response to an increased demand for a rapidly deployable Wireless Wide Area Network solution for business, Verizon Wireless has teamed up with several router manufacturers to offer high-speed Broadband Access Wireless Router service. Whether the business is a large enterprise requiring a back-up failover connection, or a small business needing an immediate high-speed primary connection, Verizon Wireless can help keep business up and running.
