So much of international news, here are some local news for you. Celcom had formalized a joint collaboration with ROK TV, a United Kingdom based mobile entertainment specialist to offer the most powerful mobile TV service to its customers both via GPRS and 3G making Celcom the first telecommunication operator in Malaysia to offer mobile TV via both networks.
Subscribers will be able to enjoy the best quality mobile TV and the best end user experience with just any 3G mobile phone. The service will commence in August 2007. Dato' Sri Shazalli, Chief Executive Officer of Celcom had quoted, "We have achieved great success with our mobile content services. The move is in line with our position as a powerful multimedia content telecommunications leader in the country. We are excited to have ROK TV as our partner in innovation."
They will be able to watch various shows on their mobile phones ranging from breaking news and sports news to cartoon series, rap music and entertainment news just like any other conventional TV. Among the channels that will be available in the initial stage are ABC News Now, Al-Jazeera, ITN, SNTV, Xtreme TV, and Mixcast. More channels will be added to the current 6 later on.
The subscription fees had not been announced yet but it will not be cheap definitely. So are the users willing to pay a premium price for the service to watch on a small screen? Well, I personally doubt so. Again, time will tell.
