Agis, BNS, Toshiba Partner for Indonesian Mobile TV Launch

JAKARTA, July 16: Electronics company PT Agis is teaming
with the IPTV and broadband technology provider BNS and Toshiba to build a
nationwide mobile TV network in Indonesia.

Operated by Agis, the service will be the first Digital
Multimedia Broadcasting-based (DMB) mobile TV service outside Japan and Korea.
It is slated to launch early next year.

“With a youthful population and low but fast growing mobile
penetration, Indonesia is the perfect market for a broadcast-based mobile TV
service,” said Anna Maria, the senior officer at Agis. “Our service will
combine best-of-breed technology, compelling content and a large handset
selection that will make it an instant hit with mobile users all over the
country.”
