The British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) has said it will launch new sports and news applications to satisfy mobile phone user and football fan demand with smartphone sales in UK predicted to skyrocket this year because of the FIFA World Cup,.
BBC plans to launch this year a string of free video-on-demand applications one of them is Live Sport.
The decision means that football fans will be able to watch every England game live on their smartphone, as well as clips of every goal scored in this summer's tournament in South Africa.
The Telegraph quoted Erik Huggers, BBC's director of future technology, as saying," It''s been 12 years since the launch of BBC Online, but as media converges and technology accelerates, licence fee payers are increasingly using sophisticated handheld devices to access information."
He further added," They tell us that they want to access the digital services that they have paid for at a time and place that suits them."
