Watching TV on mobiles became a reality today for South Koreans - the first in the world - when TU Media Corp launched its Satelite-based mobile TV service to SK Telecom users, the country’s largest mobile phone operator.
“As of Saturday, there were about 28,000 mobile phones and palm-size monitors in cars nationwide which could receive the service. TU Media plans to provide seven video and 20 audio channels for the time being, and later expand the total number of channels to more than 40 when it can relay terrestrial TV programs.”
Unfortunately though, a special handset equipped with the antenna and chips is needed to receive the satellite signals.
