Vodafone Group PLC is poised to expand its Live! portal with a new user-generated mobile video service enabling subscribers to upload and view their own clips. Scheduled to premiere in March in conjunction with the Cebit trade show in Hanover, Germany, the as-yet-unnamed service will also afford users the opportunity to profit from their videos: Vodafone said it will introduce a plan offering premium compensation according the number of times a particular clip is downloaded.
Vodafone should be busy at Cebit: The carrier reportedly plans to launch a number of additional applications at the event, among them a service enabling subscribers to create their own Flash-based mobile websites. Another interactive service will allow customers to vote, play games or request information from live streaming cooking shows.
