Turner Launches NBA Mobile Streaming App

On the heels of my experience streaming the Trail Blazers' first game, Turner Sports announced the release of NBA League Pass Mobile, an Apple iPhone and Google Android app giving users streaming access to more than 40 live games per week.  It will also provide scores of other games as well as up-to-date statistics.  At $39.99, it's expensive compared to your typical mobile app, but with over 40 games a week for the entire 2009-2010 season, it may be worth it to the big time basketball fan. This is yet another example of the demand for video to be delivered anytime, anywhere.  "It's important for us to get our content in front of as many fans as possible," said Bryan Perez, senior vice president of NBA Digital, in Ryan Lawler's coverage of the announcement over at Contentinople.  We feel the same way, Bryan!

Speaking of streaming, the Trail Blazer game on Friday night vs. the San Antonio Spurs will be the second online streaming opportunity.  I will definitely be tuning in, especially after a very unique customer support experience.  Click through to read about it.

Trail Blazers' Opening Night Win Streamed Live Online

Since the Portland Trail Blazers are kind of a big deal around these parts, I was excited to hear that they would be "the first team in the NBA to stream games online."  With Major League Baseball showing excellent results from its online streaming (in both the quality and business sense), it's good to see the NBA working to polish their online solution.  After my first experience, though, while it's clear the potential is there, it definitely needs work.  Click through for the full post.
