Bell Mobile TV welcomes one millionth subscriber


-- Live sports and other big TV events driving twice as much data
usage as a year ago
-- Access to more than 40 mobile channels on the go - and more
than 100 if you're also a Bell TV customer


MONTREAL, Sept. 17, 2013 /CNW Telbec/ - Bell today welcomed its one
millionth subscriber to Bell Mobile TV, the breakthrough wireless data
service that offers on-the-go access to more than 40 channels of live
and on-demand sports, news, entertainment and children's TV
programming.



"Bell invited consumers to pick a screen and fill it with goodness - and
a million Canadians have now done so with Bell Mobile TV on their
smartphones and tablets," said Wade Oosterman, President of Bell
Mobility. "Bell has made the heavy investments in high-speed data
networks, high-demand programming, and TV-capable mobile devices that
let consumers take TV anywhere. We're proud to have staked out an
international leadership position for Canada in the fast-growth mobile
TV sector."



Bell Mobile TV offers unparalleled variety in programming from major
Canadian and international content providers. Much of the service's
growth has been led by viewing of major live sporting events such as
the NHL Playoffs and Stanley Cup, the Super Bowl, NBA Playoffs, NCAA
March Madness, and the Olympic Games.



"Live broadcasts are a key driver for mobile TV, led by Canada's and the
world's biggest sporting events but also the major awards shows, TV
season finales and special events like the Toronto International Film
Festival that people want to watch wherever they may be," said Mr.
Oosterman. "Bell Mobile TV is uniquely easy to access too - Bell
enables customers to watch mobile TV without impacting their regular
data usage."



Mobile TV is available as a bonus with many Bell Mobility data plans and
any Bell customer with a smartphone and a data plan can get 10 hours of
mobile TV viewing as a $5 a month add-on, without affecting the data
allotment in their plan. For more details, please visit Bell.ca/MobileTV.
