Tim Higgins

November 16, 2006

Sling Media and 3G mobile broadband provider 3 Group today announced that they are partnering to give customers access to their home TV channels on their mobile handsets. This marks the first time that Sling Media has partnered with a major mobile operator.

The X-Series from 3, will give 3 Group customers the ability to use the latest mobile broadband handsets with the Slingbox to watch anything they are able to watch on their own TV. The SlingPlayer Mobile service will be exclusive to 3 Group customers who purchase both an X-Series handset and a Slingbox.

SlingPlayer Mobile software will be pre-installed on two new handsets, the Nokia N73 and the Sony Ericsson W950i including support for terrestrial TV, Freeview, cable, and satellite TV.

The X-Series from 3 will be available in the UK from the 1st December 2006 and in 3’s other markets around the world in early 2007.
