Germans will broadcast television images of the 2006 World Cup to mobile phones using technology developed in Korea. According to Daeje Chin, the South Korean Minister for Information and Communications, people living in Munich will be able to watch TV on their mobile phones as soon as January next year.
The move comes as the Bavarian local government has signed a deal with Korean company TU to broadcast football matches over digital media broadcasting (DMB) satellites.
Chin said some companies in the UK are also looking at deploying DMB but didn’t say when any service might roll out.
