Verizon to Carry Qualcomm's MediaFLO

Qualcomm and Verizon Wireless are debuting a real-time mobile video over Qualcomm's MediaFLO multicasting network to customers in the United States.

The companies expect to launch mobile TV services over the MediaFLO network in approximately half of the markets already covered by Verizon Wireless CDMA2000 1xEV-DO-based broadband network.

After the initial launch, Qualcomm and its subsidiary MediaFLO USA will continue to expand the MediaFLO network throughout other markets that cover the Verizon Wireless VCast and BroadbandAccess service areas.
