Germany’s Mobile 3.0 is apparently now offering broadcast Mobile TV, having launched a test service based on a Nokia (NYSE: NOK) Siemens Networks (NSN) solution.
The service, initially available in four cities – Hamburg, Hanover, Frankfurt and Munich – includes nine TV channels (ARD, ZDF, Deutschland 24, RTL, VOX, SAT 1, Pro 7, N-TV and N24) and three radio stations (bigMUSIC, MyFun Radio, and 90elf). It will help gather information on actual demand, expected consumption patterns, coverage and reception conditions in order to fine-tune the broadcasts and identify commercial services to be launched in the future, once Mobile 3.0 receives all the remaining licenses.
NSN is running the whole show during the test, utilising the DVB-H standard, and Nokia is providing the handsets.
