Two months after Samsung deal, studio will launch VOD service with UK operator.
NMA has reported that T-Mobile is on the verge of extending its VOD service to include full movies from Paramount.
James Rowe, head of content for T-Mobile UK, told NMA: “As an operator, we can offer access to movies via streaming and online, which makes us a unique user proposition: access anywhere and anytime. “Services like VOD+ push the boundaries but also offer real value.”
Paramount launched a similar service for downloading movies, powered by Saffron Digital, with Motorola in April 2008, but Moto's financial woes brought about an early closure just six months later.
In March Paramount, this time in association with Acetrax, agreed to provide movies to Samsung Mobile’s online download store.
The T-Mobile project will be powered by Saffron, which already runs the existing VD service for the operator.
