Unfortunately, I am not a big football fan. I mean, I will watch a game if there is nothing else better to watch. Yep, I know I am in the minority, on this one. But I do have a bit of exciting news to share about football – Super Bowl XLVI will be streamed live.
Yes, you read that correctly — for the first time ever the Super Bowl will be streamed live. Unfortunately, the streaming content will not be available to just anyone — only to smartphones on the Verizon Wireless network. To have access to Super Bowl XLVI you must download the Verizon NFL Mobile app. I am told that the stream will even include replays of popular ads and include additional camera angles.
According to Verizon these are the conditions:
Verizon Video monthly access fee waived for NFL Mobile during 2011-2012 NFL Season on 4G smartphones. Video subscription required for video content on all non-4G smartphones. Message & data rates may apply for app download & use. Available on select smartphones. Coverage not available everywhere.
I bet you wish you would have bought that Motorola Droid Bionic, when you had a chance.
In any event, this is huge for consumers because a major sports company — the NFL — is allowing content to be streamed to multiple digital platforms. And if you are a non-Verizon customer, you can still watch the game online at – NFL.com or NBCSports.com.
Let’s GO Giants!!
