I was just browsing the App Store and I stumbled across a Japanese app that claims to stream f1 content for ¥500 per race or a season pass for ¥1500 ($5-$15). Maybe this is only in the Japanese store, but the description is in English.
I don’t know if it’s FOM approved, but it was in the ‘featured’ section.
If the commentary was in English then it’s a good deal anyway.10th October 2013, 4:03 at 4:03 am #242888CanderousParticipantI just did a google search and it appears legit. A uk company no less either.

I suspect instead of developing the app themselves, they’ve got this UK developer to develop the app, similar to the Sky Player in the UK. So it’s a local app, not a global one.

From what I could see it looked really good. I streamed Radio 5 Live using a VPN which gave us good commentary but the Zume system seemed very good indeed. Fuji do have the rights in Japan but it is on a pay channel rather than being broadcast for free as it was there ten years ago.

https://www.youtube.com/user/F1onZume/videosAs I understand it this is a deal done between FOM & the Japanese broadcaster, Much like the deal with Sky in the UK for there Mobile/Tablet F1 app.
