SingTel launch Bloomberg Mobile Service
SingTel is always a step ahead ….
Yesterday SingTel had just launched mio TV on mobile, but today, there is another new yet cool mobile service has just born. This one to be called “Bloomberg’s mobile service”. It is still available nowhere but here for SingTel postpaid mobile customers.
From the Press Release:
This interactive service allows SingTel mobile customers to create a personalized portfolio to track the performance of their shares and stock exchange indices from the comprehensive suite of investment tools and services available. Customers, for the first time ever, will have access to a currency conversion calculator using real-time exchange rates.
These unique features are in addition to Bloomberg’s up-to-the-minute, market moving financial and world news, as well as stock quotes from major stock exchanges (refer to Annex A for service features and subscription details). Bloomberg’s mobile service will be available from 22 May 2008.
Mr Low Ka Hoe, SingTel’s Director of IPTV and Content, said: “We are delighted to be the first in the world to offer this interactive service to our growing base of mobile customers who are constantly on the move. SingTel is committed to providing our customers with value-added services. Our customers will find this Bloomberg service extremely useful and valuable as they are able to keep up to date with the latest world financial news anytime and anywhere.”
Mr Jimmy Kim, Head of Network Development and New Media at Bloomberg Television Asia-Pacific, said: “We are pleased to be partnering SingTel for the global launch of Bloomberg’s mobile service. This will be a compelling product for Bloomberg business partners and viewers, whose demand for reliable and accurate business and financial news and information can now be served wherever they may be. Choosing SingTel as our partner for this worldwide product is a reflection of our confidence both in SingTel’s platform and in Singapore as a new media market.”
SingTel postpaid mobile customers can look forward to rich multimedia content such as exclusive video-on-demand and podcasts and live TV streaming from Bloomberg in the next three months.
Following the Singapore launch, Bloomberg plans to extend this service to other countries and territories in Southeast Asia and Greater China by the end of 2008, with further expansion plans for 2009.
What Gadget are ready for this?
Since there are no details are given for this issue up there, I assume that all gadget that is supported by Palm OS, Windows CE/Pocket PC/Windows Mobile or Blackberry OS is good enough to run and have fun with this application.
All news will be in your hand at 24 X 7!
Anyway, with just $3.21/month to $5.35/month in price tag, I’m sure this service will be suit for people who believe that markets don’t sleep and information should come to them in 24 hours a day. Is that you?
