It will be interesting to see how the digital / wireless broadcast rights
end up working out. 

Kirch owns the gloabal distribution rights for the world cup and recently
they said...

o Web Blackout Imposed on 2002 World Cup Soccer Finals

London -- KirchMedia, a German media group with rights to broadcast the
2002 World Cup, has followed the lead of the International Olympics
Committee and imposed a Web blackout to prohibit live streaming of the
soccer championship's final round, The Guardian reported. Kirch paid $641
million for the exclusive rights to broadcast the tournament, which will
be held in Korea and Japan beginning in May.

Has any one come across any interesting mobile applications in Japan related
to the World Cup? These can be any useful services or infotainment games
and delivered by either browser or java app.


Thanks for any help.
