Verizon Wireless Rolls Out Veoh Video On V CAST

BASKING RIDGE, NJ, and SAN DIEGO — Verizon Wireless, the leading wireless company with the most reliable wireless voice and data network, and Veoh (www.veoh.com), the leader in Internet Television, today launched a Veoh channel on the Verizon Wireless V CAST service. Veoh features the best selection of video content on the Internet. To date, more than 85,000 video publishers — from independent producers to some of the best known brands in music, sports, politics, and entertainment — have chosen Veoh as a distribution platform.

With Veoh on V CAST, Verizon Wireless customers now have access to the "Best of Veoh" video collection that includes animation, comedy, entertainment, drama, and Web-series video. The programming was selected specifically for the mobile audience from video clips published on Veoh.com and is continually refreshed to help keep V CAST customers entertained while on-the-go.

To get V CAST, customers with select V CAST-enabled phones can check out V CAST whenever they want for just $3.00 for 24-hour use or by signing up for the $15.00 V CAST VPak monthly subscription. Customers get unlimited basic video — including Veoh — but application download fees apply for 3D games and premium video. There are no airtime charges to download, stream or watch V CAST content. Customers can find Veoh in the Net's Best section on all V CAST-enabled phones.

The two companies said their relationship will also enable Verizon to bring Veoh content to Verizon's consumer broadband services and FiOS TV, marking the first time Veoh content will be available on three screens. A Veoh channel is expected on the VerizonSurround broadband entertainment portal this fall; FiOS TV, Verizon's next generation TV service, is slated to carry Veoh content later this year. As part of the relationship, Verizon is also advertising on VeohTV.
