BSNL Launches Mobile TV Streaming In Eastern India

Bharat Sanchar Nigam Ltd (BSNL), a public sector telco, has launched mobile TV streaming services in Eastern India. BSNL is offering NDTV, CNBC, Aaj Tak, Times Now, Zoom, Bindass, ETC, TV9 etc, and intends to increase its content portfolio to cover 32 TV channels by 2007 end. [via Hindu] They’re initially offering the service for free, though pricing plans have not been detailed. Also, there’s nothing on the quality of the video - and how many frames per second are available on mobile. The video streaming that I’ve seen on mobile isn’t really worth watching, so it’ll be surprising if this service takes off. The service is only available on Nokia (NYSE: NOK) handsets initially, and will be extended to Sony (NYSE: SNE) Ericsson (NSDQ: ERIC) and Motorola (NYSE: MOT) handsets. Idea cellular also has a video streaming service called Idea TV.
