The mobile TV spin-off of the series, called "24: Conspiracy," will begin airing 24 one-minute episodes early next year for Vodafone 3G customers in 23 different countries. Fox also reportedly is talking to Verizon Wireless, a company in which Vodafone holds a 45% stake, about distributing the series on its network in the U.S.
The TV series is about to begin its fourth season. Vodafone and Fox indicated they are planning to develop other kinds of programming for mobile 3G devices. Mobile TV development has been heating up lately, with Qualcomm announcing just last week that it would launch a new 700 MHz network devoted to aggregating video and audio content, including TV programming and clips, for distribution to mobile users.
