A few short months after being euthanized, Mobile ESPN is about to be resurrected. This time around, it's going to be a channel on Verizon's V CAST video service rather than a full-fledged Mobile Virtual Network Operator (MVNO).

ESPN Mobile was originally launched in February 2006, with the sports network using Sprint Nextel's network to offer video clips, sports content, and cellular service brought to subscribers via ESPN-branded phones. The sports network had high hopes for the service. After all, there are millions of obsessive fantasy football and baseball players hungering for the latest stats and and information on their favorite players.
