Verizon will lose exclusive rights to air games on mobile
devices, Bloomberg quoted two people as saying. Verizon's rights
will include the NFL's Thursday night games, among others, one

Financial details and the duration of Verizon's contract with
the NFL could not immediately be learned, Bloomberg said.
Neither NFL nor Verizon could immediately be reached for a
comment by Reuters.
