Stadium-only content

Fans that pay good money to attend sports events wont miss out either. For example, whoever is running the event will be able to feed the live audience information that they may not want to put over a public network, said the report.

According to Gillingham, this information may include more detail on the athletes such as their recent performances, expert predictions on who is going to win, views from the warm up track and live social networking feeds from athletes.

Stadium-only information delivered over a 3G or 4G capable mobile network is something Australian National Rugby League (NRL) side, the Wests Tigers, is in the to use during the 2013 NRL season.

The Tigers have been working behind the scenes to develop platforms which would allow fans to access different camera angles or behind the scenes footage in the changing rooms via their smartphone or tablet while they are in the stadium.
