Listening To Sports Contests On Your Mobile Phone
For some folks, they absolutely need to know what's happening with their favorite college football team. If they're not located in the same town, or the game doesn't happen to be on TV, it's not easy to keep up. So, some friends have started a service that lets users call up a central number and then listen to various college football games on their mobile phones. They say it's a "better way" to do streaming audio, but it would seem to appeal to only the most hardcore fan (though, admittedly, when it comes to college football, there are a lot of hardcore fans). Still, listening to an entire game on a mobile phone seems like a little much (and potentially painful for the ear if you don't have a good speakerphone).
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
