24th December 2004 - Every year, millions of viewers
tune in to the traditional Four Hills Tournament on
TV. Vodafone, the title sponsor, now has the solution
for all those who don't have the chance to be at home
in front of the TV for the jumps at the forthcoming
53rd tournament or who have simply missed the highlights
from the jumps: In cooperation with RTL NEWMEDIA, the
Düsseldorf-based mobile telecommunications company
is bringing highlights from the competitions to your
mobile - with Vodafone Mobile TV. All Vodafone customers
who have a 3G mobile can enjoy this new mobile television
experience. There will be reports from all the qualifying
and main jumps at this year's 53rd Four Hills Tournament.
It's hard to be more up-to-date than this: simply turn
on your mobile, select the "RTLmobile Video"
channel in the "MobileTV + Video" category
and there's no stopping your enjoyment of TV reports
from Oberstdorf, Garmisch-Partenkirchen, Innsbruck and
Bischofshofen. Only a short time after the respective
qualifying round or competition has finished, sports
fans will find MobileTV reports including commentary
in the RTL mobile programme specially produced for 3G
mobiles, which will be repeated once an hour around
the clock.
What about taking a ski-jump yourself? Vodafone
can make this possible
Sports fans for whom the thrill of just watching isn't
enough can take off from the ski-jump themselves with
the "RTL Ski-Jumping 2005" mobile phone game.
In the animation, one or more players take on the role
of the sportsmen, navigate through the air at the touch
of a button and adjust their flight path and bearing
to pick up good scores. As with the idols Ahonen &
Co., the points from a total of eight different World
Cup ski jumps are entered into the ranking tables until
an overall winner emerges. Sound and photo-realistic
graphics from the jumps, spectators and a snow-capped
winter landscape make "RTL Ski-Jumping 2005"
a must for every fan. The game can be downloaded onto
your mobile either on the Internet at www.vodafone-games.de
or via your mobile on the Vodafone live! portal for
a one-off charge of EUR 3.99 (plus the usual GPRS/WAP
connection charges for surfing on the portal and for
the download) and then played as often as you like.
Additional offerings relating to the Vodafone Four
Hills Tournament 2004/2005
As well as the reports on Vodafone MobileTV, the most
important news and pictures from the winter sport locations
are also available on your mobile as video clips with
the best jumps. The Vodafone MMS Infoservices are an
alternative for the forgetful. Messages are automatically
sent to your MMS mobile straight after the end of each
jump. For each jumping event, subscribers to the service
receive up to three messages with original pictures,
results and overall World Cup standings.
