Russia’s SkyLink Announces Mobile TV Plans

Russian operator SkyLink has plans to launch a mobile TV broadcasting service to mobile phones in Moscow and St. Petersburg later early in 2007, according to a report in subscription-only Prime-Tass. SkyLink also plans to introduce other video services, including mobile video surveillance. Currently, Moscow subscribers currently have access to four mobile TV channels, with a further six due to be launched this month. Subscribers in St. Petersburg have access to eight channels. In August SkyLink launched a trial of mobile TV services as part of its effort to target the region’s wealthier consumers. SkyLink has not disclosed tariffs, but tariffs are likely to be pricey.
