Phonecast
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A phonecast is similar to a radio or broadcast television program but designed for internet transmission to a mobile phone. Mobile phone software allows a user to connect to a media server within the wireless carrier network, which is distributing (phonecasting) the phonecast, and displays the audio or video content to the user's mobile device. A phonecast can be either live or pre-recorded for on-demand use after the live broadcast.
Phonecasting differs from podcasting, which assumes a transfer or download from a desktop PC and is on-demand only. Phonecasting does not require a desktop PC and connects directly to the carrier's network.
