Participants in the trial will use the Nokia 7710 widescreen multimedia smartphone to watch TV and test digital video broadcasting - handheld (DVB-H) technology, a standard developed for broadcasting TV signals on mobile devices. DVB-H enables mobiles to handle TV signals in real-time and allows the same signals to be broadcast to multiple handsets.
According to O2, millions of mobile TV viewers are expected globally by 2010 and broadcasters, handset suppliers, operators and regulators will need to work together to regulate the emerging industry.
