CDMA major Tata Indicom is exploring possibilities of bringing a mobile broadcast to India in a year’s time.The mobile broadcast would enable mobile phone users to access their favourite programmes live, even while they are on a move. Users can listen to their favourite music, catch-up on latest news or follow their sports team.
A senior official from Tata Teleservices Ltd’s told this correspondent, "The Digital Mobile Broadcating-Terrestial (DMB-T) is only running in Korea, at the moment, while the trials are on in the US and Europe." We are exploring the logistics of introducing mobile broadcast in India, he said at the GlobalComm India exhibition.
"We expect it to change the TV viewing habits to mobile users, as DMB-T has done in Korea," he added. Incidentally, DMB-T users would get to see Football World Cup live in Europe."It will take about a year’s time, since there are licensing requirements to be met, apart from issues of spectrum, tie-up with channels and handset manufacturers, that need to be sorted out," he said.
For the mobile broadcast in India, Tata Indicom is looking at video streaming at 25 frames per sec. The existing video streaming is seven frames per sec."This would require us to set up a very high-capacity delivery system," he added.On another note, the CDMA major is also launching a Tata Indicom Walky phone.
