Singapore Mobile TV Trial Extended

SINGAPORE, July 2:
Singapore Digital has received a license to extend its TV2GO digital video
broadcasting-handheld (DVB-H) mobile TV trial until the end of November.

The next stage of the
trial, which kicked off in June 2007, will see additional content for users and
interactive functions, including chat-room and real-time financial services.
The interactive component will be made possible with a digital interactive
platform from Sofia Digital, integrated with the Nokia DVB-H
broadcast platform, Mobile Broadcast Solution (MBS).

Available to anyone in
Singapore with the appropriate DVB-H-ready handset, the TV2GO trial will now
offer two new mobile TV channels in addition to the news, music and
entertainment content already on offer.
