Free Mobile Broadcasts to Be Available Nationwide in May

According to The Korea Times, as of next month, South Koreans will be able to watch free TV programs on their mobile handsets not merely in Seoul and its vicinity but also across the country.

"The Ministry of Information and Communication yesterday said it gave licenses to KBS and MBC, the country's two top TV outlets, to start nationwide mobile broadcasting called terrestrial DMB.

... Terrestrial DMB debuted in December 2005 for the first time in the world but its coverage has been restricted to Seoul and the surrounding Kyonggi Province."
