Sprint Wireless Subscribers To Get NFL Plays Live!!!

Sprint Wireless has cut a deal to allow wireless subscribers to see key plays in NFL football games live. Sprint subscribers will be able to watch drives inside the 20 yard line and other key plays on their mobile phones as they happen, the company said Monday.

The deal calls for the NFL Network to produce a live, three-hour program that will be streamed live on NFL.com and to Sprint subscribers. It will include both game highlights and live coverage when a team enters the red zone and at other "critical moments" in a game.

"Sprint continues to drive innovation with NFL fans," said Steve Gaffney, Sprint's director of sports sponsorships. "Fans tell us they want to have the ability to watch live NFL game broadcasts on their phones, and we're enabling them to do that."

The service is available free to Sprint customers with newer phones who subscribe to the Power Vision network, the company's high-speed phone-based Internet service. Sprint said more than 1 million people had downloaded its NFL Mobile software.
