Finland to license commercial mobile TV service

Finland has become the first European country to issue a licence for a commercial TV service for mobile phones, the Finnish News Agency reports, via The Register.

"The Finnish Ministry of Transport and Communications announced on Monday that it will start accepting applications for a licence. The service will be based on DVB-H (digital video broadcasting - handheld) transmission technology. Finland is one of many countries experimenting with TV on mobile phones. In Helsinki around 500 people were involved in a pilot in the Helsinki metropolitan area last spring, which was favourably received."
