MUMBAI: Nimbus Sport International has announced an exclusive deal with Cambodian telecom company CamGSM.

CamGSM has acquired on-demand mobile clip rights to the Barclays Premier League (BPL) in Cambodia for three seasons from 2007/2008 to 2009/2010 on its mobile network Cellcard. This is the first time that sports video clips will be available on mobile phones in Cambodia.

 

Nimbus Sport VP international Thomas Klingebiel commented, "We are thrilled to welcome CamGSM amongst our family of Barclays Premier League licencees. It is truly exciting to be pioneering mobile and internet sports video content in Cambodia, and we look forward to further growing the Barclays Premier League's fan base in this market."

CamGSM will offer near-live content as well as highlights and previews of all BPL matches. Cellcard football fans across Cambodia can access the clips via Cellcard's STK menu or visit www.cellcard.com.kh/mobile. Singapore-based i-POP Networks Pte Ltd, Asia's leading mobile services and provisioning company, is assisting in the operation and expansion of the mobile clips service for CamGSM.

Nimbus Sport has the mobile and internet rights for the next three years - covering the 1140 BPL matches that will be played until the end of the 2009-10 season.
