Watch SNL on Your Cell Phone

December 21st, 2006 MobileFreak

The mobile video announcements just keep coming. Now Cingular wireless customers will be able to watch Saturday Night Live (SNL) video snippets on their cell phones.

According to the press release, this offering requires the Cingular Video service, which is currently available on Cingular’s Media Net Unlimited package. The Media Net package costs $19.99 per month, and the SNL deal will offer access to over 100 old and new SNL clips, as well as mobile-only content that was recently developed.
This follows news earlier this week that Cingular will offer MySpace mobile content to their subscribers as well. MySpace mobile services had previously only been available through youth-oriented mobile carrier Helio.

Of all the cell phone app categories out there, mobile video is clearly among the fastest growing. While the carriers continue to control the content gates, it is just a matter of time before one of the operators lowers data access rates and throws open the doors to the mobile web.
