Jean-Briac Perrette, president, NBC Universal Digital Distribution, said: "This is an extraordinary partnership with MobiTV and we're excited to be the first major network to offer our viewers wireless access to their favorite primetime shows on demand. "In addition, this groundbreaking deal with MobiTV will create another platform for NBC's partner advertisers to reach their audience."
