BMG streams video to mobile

FINLAND -- BMG has recently launched a music video over streaming mobile media and has become the first in the world to do so. It has launched the latest video of the Finnish rock band, Kemopetrol, over wireless streaming video, that is viewable over the Nokia 7650 handset.

BMG plans to announce its first major international artist to launch mobile video content shortly. It plans to launch wireless videos for several of its artists in the coming months, using enabling technology from Oplayo. For the record, Oplayo has developed video compression technology that enables delivery of high-quality, color video over GPRS networks.
