Tech Digest is reporting that 3UK has announced it will be offering lotsa new “On-Demand” mobile TV (I would assume that to mean 3G streaming) – including stuff like, South Park, The HIlls, and Pimp My Ride!

It’s going to cost between £1.29-£1.99 apparently for a week’s access to an episode, which is an addition to the existing service (which incidentally has coverage of things like Sky Sports).

Hmm, well I’d pay to be able to access South Park – it’s just awesomely funny, along with that other animated classic Family Guy. £1.29? Yep, I’d swallow that – just take me to the content!

Seriously though, it’s good to see Operators (especially ones like 3UK) continuing to build out their content catalogue – people need new stuff to consume, and popular shows like these should be in high demand, on demand!

About The Author

Ben Robinson

Ben is a 10+ year veteran of the Mobile industry – starting his career when SMS was a still a relatively new concept for most people (!), he has now consulted on everything from bleeding-edge Mobile content, to the next-gen accessories you might view it on. As a result he has a broad and deep knowledge in numerous areas of Mobile – from network operators to device vendors, to infrastructure and middleware vendors (not to mention content delivery) – and has worked for companies in all of these areas! He is based in the UK, a hotbed of activity for mobile, and recently became a father for the second time – as oppose to in his younger years when he was happy spend time tweaking all manner of mobile devices to 'nth' degree, he now looks for services and hardware that provide the most efficient, compact, and reliable improvements to his already manic life! It’s his opinion that Mobile solutions should be there to help to make your life better – if a particular solution (be it service or device) isn’t doing this, he believes you need to ask the very important question of why you continue to use it... His focus at IntoMobile is mainly on Mobile content, services, and infrastructure, particularly as regards the UK market – and with the occasional look at devices. Additionally, using his extensive experience in the industry, he will provide commentary on the industry at large, with regular (and hopefully thought-provoking) articles.
