Reuters' Sinead Carew
reports that NBC Universal today announced an agreement with MobiTV to make full-length primetime shows like The Office, Heroes and Monk available for viewing on mobile phones.

NBC shows will be made available for viewing for $1.99 for a 24-hour period after the show airs. "MobiTV and NBC did not say which operators would offer their service," Carew writes. "For $9.99 a month, MobiTV streams TV shows to the phones of Cingular, now being rebranded as AT&T Inc., Sprint Nextel Corp., and Alltel Corp."

Streaming videos on cell phones are not for the prime time yet. I have watched streaming news via Sprint and Verizon's so call mobile broadband network. The quality is so bad it's not worth the money at all.
