By the end of the year, National Geographic Television and Film‘s imagery and research will be available to download and/or stream onto mobile phones. National Geographic Film Library and GignoSystem America said the mobile phone distribution agreement that will deliver NG‘s award-winning video clips and images to mobile phone subscribers worldwide will be available through select mobile operators in the U.S., Germany, Italy, Spain, France and Canada.
In addition to the content offerings, mobile subscribers will receive an array of images, audio narration and video content updated daily as well as NG ring tones. Daily features will include photos, animal of the day and a geography quiz. The announcement was made at last week’s CTIA Wireless I.T. & Entertainment 2004 gathering in San Francisco.
