New Delhi, Oct 6 (PTI) Now watch Commonwealth Games live on your mobile phones from anywhere in the country.

The Games' Organising Committee today launched the live video streaming of events in partnership with an Indian knowledge services firm ''Smile of India''.

This, the OC said, would bring the Games closer to millions of Indians across the country and would allow them to watch live action anywhere on their mobile phone.

"We have always taken pride in leveraging Delhi 2010 platform for showcasing latest technical advancements to the world. Live video streaming on mobile allows people across the length and breadth of the country to catch all the action even when they are on the move and do not have access to TV," said OC chairman Suresh Kalmadi.


Commonwealth Games Delhi 2010 Mobile Video Streaming would work on diverse handsets and can be accessed from http://m.zoomi.in and will require a GPRS connection.

The live video streaming is free of cost to the user, though data accesses charges apply, officials said.

Kalmadi also thanked the thousands of workers who helped repair the athletics track and lay 70 lanes of turf across the in-field at the Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium and have it ready in time for the track and field competition that began this evening.

"We made sure that the schedule of the blue riband track and field competition was adhered to," he said adding that he was glad that they dispelled doubts about the athletics competition beginning as scheduled since the track needed some repair and the process of laying the in-field turf was in progress after the opening ceremony. Kalmadi said he was delighted that the track got ready for competition in time and to the satisfaction of the IAAF Technical Delegate Bill Bailey.

"As Commonwealth Games Federation president Michael Fennell pointed out this morning, the repair needed for the track after the opening ceremony is not unique to Delhi 2010," he said.
