Alltel Wireless has teamed up with mobile video services company Transpera to launch Alltel Social Video, a new application allowing subscribers to share and rate videos from various online sources.
For $2.99 a month, Alltel customers can view, critique and send clips from entertainment sites including AtomFilms, GrindTV.com and Break.com. They can also search for videos across
channels, create custom playlists and manage distribution lists. The new offering reflects efforts by wireless carriers to extend the popularity of online social networking to cell phones.
