Mobile TV Pilot To Launch in Spain

Telefonica Moviles Espana, the Spanish mobile operator, is launching a DVB-H mobile TV pilot in Spain, in association with Abertis Telecom and Nokia. The pilot will take place in Madrid and Barcelona between September 2005 and February 2006, with 500 users. These users will be able to watch broadcast TV content from Antena 3, Sogecable, Telecinco, Telemadrid, TVE and TV3 on Nokia 7710 smartphones equipped with a special accessory to receive mobile TV broadcasts.
The pilot will assist in possible market research that would enable Abertis Telecom, Nokia and Telefonica Moviles to measure public interest in mobile TV services. Another important objective is to test the quality of the signal and broadcast in- and outdoors, in order to determine the best technical parameters for the viability of DVB-H based services.
