ESPN Mobile plans relaunch on Verizon

After only signing up 30,000 customers, Mobile ESPN is expected to announce today their intentions to take their service to Verizon.

Rather than be its own stand alone network Mobile EPSN will now be part of Verizon's V Cast service and will be offered for free to Verizon users who subscribe to the V Cast service which currently runs $15 a month or $3 a day.

Mobile ESPN announced that it will no longer be a standalone mobile company in September of last year--now we know where the service is headed. The service offers users the ability to track their favorite sports team, get sports scores, watch game highlights, and view short newscasts on sporting events from their mobile phone.

Rumor has it ESPN and Verizon will also announce a broadcast television service for cell phones today as well. The cell phone service will include the ESPN channel allowing users to watch most of the same programming shown on the TV station on their mobile phone.
