CBS, Verizon Strike Deal on Full-Length TV Shows

CBS has entered an agreement with Verizon Communications to offer full-length TV shows on Verizon Wireless mobile devices. New and existing prime-time and daytime shows will be available on Verizon's VCast mobile video service.

However, the announcement doesn't mention how devices that have data plans and lack VCast, such as the RIM BlackBerry models, will be able to access the TV content.

Shows such as "CSI: Crime Scene Investigation," "60 Minutes," and "Survivor" will be accessible via VCast and on Verizon's FIOS TV fiber-optic network.
