The Russian DTH platform NTV-Plus has launched a new iOS mobile app for its Futbol-Plus service.
With it, reports TelecomDaily, viewers will be able to access a wide range of football including the Russian Championship Cup, Champions League, UEFA Europa League, Bundesliga, Primera Division and Serie A at a stream rate of 2.5Mbps.
The app is available for free and will be enhanced with new features in September.
Three other Futbol-Plus apps already exist for Android smartphones and tablets and NTV-Plus has also operated a special website offering free football broadcasts for over a year.
Mobile apps are becoming increasingly popular in Russia with MTS, ER Telecom’s Dom.ru and more recently Vimpelcom’s Beeline TV already having ones available.
