mCommerce At The Ball Game
CellBuck is bringing mCommerce the sport statiums starting with three minor league sports stadiums in Buffalo; Bowie, Md.; and Charleston, S.C. Game attendees at these stadiums will be able to use their mobile phones to call an 800 number to order food and souvenirs and have items delivered directly to their seats. The benefit to end users is that they can use their credit cards to order and get an email receipt for the purchase. This might be useful for big groups or business users, but I'm not sure its any more efficient or easy than just waiting for the hot dog to come over for most fans.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
–The Techdirt Team
