Cell Phone-Based Broadcasting Starts

TU Media, a unit of Korea's foremost mobile operator SK Telecom, on Sunday started to beam the signal of satellite digital multimedia broadcasting (DMB) to cell phones for the first time in the world, according to The Korea Times.

"TU Media now runs seven satellite DMB video channels _ news, sports, soap operas, games, movies, and the firm's own station _ plus 20 audio channels.

Currently, just two models of satellite DMB-capable handsets are available _ Samsung Electronics' SCH-B100 and SK Teletech's IBM-1000."
