TV5Monde extends news and sports to mobile
Users of more than 8,000 models of mobile phone with internet access such as on a Blackberry, iPhone and other smart phones, can apply online and receive a free SMS with the link to TV5Monde mobile or email alert.

The TMS Way is the agency that supplied the technology Media to Mobile -  a platform for marketers and media to create and provide mobile offers via TMS.

Frederick Saurat, co-founder and CEO, The TMS Way, explained, “the aim of TV5 Monde is to reach out to people wherever they are, whether by TV, mobile or social online space, instead of just waiting passively for them to watch programmes in the traditional way.”
