'Sex,' 'Six' go mobile in S. Korea

Shows part of SK video-on-demand service

"Sex and the City" and "Six Feet Under" will air on South Korean mobile phones under a deal between HBO and SK Telecom, announced Tuesday.

Shows will be part of the video-on-demand service launched last month by SK, the country's largest phone operator with 20.3 million mobile subscribers.

SK aims to transform itself into a multimedia communications company. It owns a 35% stake in leading Korean talent management/movie production combine iHQ and has a 29% stake in TU Media.

The TU consortium last year launched digital satellite mobile TV (S-DMB) services and ended 2006 with approximately 1 million subscribers.
