Germany launches pilot television broadcasts for handhelds



Berlin, May 30 (DPA) Germany has launched pilot transmissions of television programmes to mobile phones and other handheld devices, giving several thousand test users an alternative way to catch up with World Cup football.

The four German mobile phone companies have clubbed together to provide the fee-based service, which compresses regular TV programmes to fit on tiny screens and save the devices' battery power.

DVB-H (digital video broadcasting - handheld) are also launching this year in Finland, Italy and New York City.

Electronics manufacturers hope that watching TV will become the next 'essential' feature in mobile phones and handheld computers.

The German pilot broadcasts are only available in four cities - Berlin, Hamburg, Munich and Hanover - and are scheduled to end on August 31.

A commercial launch is scheduled for next year, with teenagers seen as a key market. T-Mobile executive Raphael Kuebler said the monthly charges would likely range from 5 to 15 euros ($7-19).

Viewers with specially adapted phones can watch or hear 16 TV or radio channels, with broadcasts coming from aerials that are already transmitting digital TV signals to big television sets in homes and offices.

A competing digital standard for mobile phones, DMB-Norm (digital media broadcasting), is also set for launch this week. It is due to be aired by phone provider Debitel in five German cities.
