Nimbus Sport have launched www.nimbuscricket.com in an aim to deliver cricket web-offerings globally. They would be starting off with live streaming of the 6 ODI matches in Ireland & Scotland during June-July.
The website will be fully operational from 23rd June (tomorrow) reports IndianTelevision.com. If that is the case, I think the design team needs to fix up the site for Firefox users today:
After doling out $612 Million to win the Global Media Cricket Rights from BCCI, you couldn’t probably expect them to offer Live Streaming for Free!
The upcoming series is priced at 4.99$, which includes live video streaming, on-demand replays and highlights of all 6 matches. Pretty reasonably priced at around the Rs 200-250 mark. A broadband connection would be essential. If Nimbus manages to attract a lot of viewers, even the above viewing cost could be passed on to advertisers.
"The online and mobile world is a new and wonderful experience for digital dare-devils worldwide,’ said Nimbus Sport International CEO Digvijay Singh. "For cricket fans, www.nimbuscricket.com will be the new frontier - and its promise is to keep the net-buzz going all through the cricketing season and beyond. The Summer Series coverage is just the start of something new and something big."
NimbusCricket.com is powered by Willow Networks and the site would be offering Mobile Casting too. I guess this might be limited to highlight packages etc, live Mobile Casting might not be quite feasible – given our current mobile infrastructure. Mobile Content would be easy to monetize though.
