U.K. broadcaster ITN has begun streaming two channels of news and weather content to 3G phones via broadband distribution with an IBIS ServerPlay.

ITN repurposes its news content specifically for mobile phones with an entire division of ITN Multimedia responsible for the production, editing, captioning and distribution to Vodafone Live! with 3G and O2.

As local broadcasters prepare to enter mobile television applications, they will need to anticipate how to repurpose and deliver local content. Transcoding solutions, servers, branding systems, digital asset management and playout automation systems may be required to provide local content injection, such as commercials, promos and newsbreaks. The major question isn't whether or not this new service will deliver on its promises, but whether or not broadcasters will hold on strictly to the tried and true or grab onto the new.
