Virgin Mobile plans TV handset service to lift customer spend

Virgin Mobile is planning to launch a television service that will allow customers to watch a range of digital channels and even record programmes on their mobile phones, reports The Guardian.

"The Virgin Mobile service, provisionally named VMTV, will take the existing digital broadcast signal and adapt it so it can be viewed on a mobile phone.

Virgin Mobile refused to name its broadcast partners yesterday but is understood to be in talks with a number of digital TV providers, including BSkyB. It is also seeking to use handsets that will allow customers to record programmes and watch them later."
