Etisalat is the only telecom operator in Asia with this rich offering.
Cricket enthusiasts who may not have the chance to fly out to the Islands or who are stuck at work or caught between destinations can still catch their teams fighting it out for the World cup and watch the entire match LIVE on their 3G handsets using Etisalat's Mobile TV service.
Etisalat's Weyak World Cup coverage also offers video highlights of the matches and SMS alerts of important moments from the matches as they happen. Also available for download are video clips of great moments from the World Cup.
The mobile coverage includes Live streaming of the matches, and highlights via Video clips, SMS news and score alerts. The complete live package is priced at only AED10 per day, and just AED 1.25 per day for SMS alerts for any team of the subscriber's choice.
"Our customer base is so diverse, that securing rights to cover this event allowed us to focus on our largest audiences- Sub-Continent Asians and customers from UK and Australia. We ensure that our offerings are attractive to specified groups and associating ourselves with World Cup Cricket means that our loyal clients get what they want. Having just launched our Mobile TV service, we feel that this Weyak service will prove to be very popular with customers," said Essa Al Haddad, Chief Marketing Officer, Etisalat.
"We are excited and proud to be the only operator in Asia and the Middle-east to bring the best of international cricket to the small screen," he added.
For customers to subscribe to the video service, they need to send the text "S CricTV" to 1110.
To receive just the SMS alerts, customers will have to send the text 'S Cric' to 1110.
To unsubscribe from the LIVE TV service, subscribers can send "C CricTV" to 1110. Customers who discontinue the service may re-subscribe by sending the same text "S CricTV" once again.
Etisalat's Weyak portal has in the past covered several other sporting events such as the FIFA World Cup 2006, the GCC Football Academy, the ESPN X Games, the 18th Arabian Gulf Cup and continues to cover the English Premier League.
