BSE makes streaming data available on cellphones

The Bombay Stock Exchange on Tuesday unveiled its Sensex mobile streamer, a platform meant to help investors readily access streaming Sensex data on their mobile phones.

The facility will help investors in making critically-timed trades. The mobile streamer can be accessed on the BSE's website. The software can be easily downloaded on GPRS-activated SIM cards and Java-enabled handsets.

"BSE is proactively making available the critical information to investors on their mobile phones free of cost. We look forward to adding more features and functionality improvements over the coming months," BSE managing director and chief executive officer Madhu Kannan told reporters in Mumbai at the launch.
