ESPN has struck a deal with Verizon Wireless to bring their content to VCAST, provindg a mobile sports experience for all VCAST VPAK customers. You may remember that Disney's ESPN tried its hand at being a Virtual Mobile Network Operator last year, but ended up shutting that effort down after poor customer signup showed that the business model didn't work as built.

The new effort with Verizon will allow for some pretty cool features, such as mobile sports updates, including the ability to watch SportsCenter clips, customizing your handset to your favorite team, and managing fantasy sports teams from your phone.

The interface on the phone will look and feel much like it did on the Mobile ESPN handsets, though all of the applications have been converted to BREW to work on the Verizon Wireless network.
