Telecom Italia Mobile
(TIM) and media group Mediaset announced yesterday an agreement to
broadcast live television to mobile phones from 2006 using DVB-H
technology. TIM said it would provide broadcasts of Mediaset's three TV
channels and football on its top-of-the-range mobile phones for five
years from 2006. This follows reports that Verizon will also begin
DVB-H services across the USA next year using a network built and
operated by Crown Castle.
