Television-on-the-go is here
March 13, 2008 The Hindu
This article discusses the incoming of mobile television to India. The new technology that has been experimented in select metros by the state run telcom major MTNL will be extended to the whole of the country by April 2008. While surveys have predicted that the Indian market for mobile telephones is huge in terms of size and revenue, companies like Nokia have already launched handsets which are capable of receiving broadcasts. Technologically, the imperative is to find a device that will allow Indian users to TV-enable their mobile phones which in turn will make mobile television popular. The challenges not withstanding, Indian society seems all set to welcome the third mode of televised content after TV and PC.
