World Cup Scores with Mobile TV

Plus, all the subscribers of SK Telecom can enjoy World Cup news, information on participants and analysis on players as well as the VOD offerings via the firm’s mobile Internet, dubbed Nate.
When they apply for free World Cup message services, World Cup match reports and events related to the attention-grabbing sports competition will be shown on the phone.
KTF also shows World Cup highlights. The outfit also stages a notable service of warning applicants six hours before all the 64 matches’ kickoff.
Customers of LG Telecom, the smallest operator here, can also watch highlighted World Cup matches on demand by logging onto its mobile Internet.
The three carriers each levy about 5,000 won to download a one-and-a-half minute video clip should users do not subscribe to the flat-rate system for wireless Internet services.
Cell phones are useful not only in remaining awake or obtaining necessary information regarding the World Cup but also in rooting for the Korean national team, which will take on Togo tonight.
When KTF subscribers send encouraging text messages to the Korean team through the number 200-2006, they will have a nice shot for it to be read by the country’s players.
The messages would pop up on the screen of the 63-inch plasma display panel TV installed in the base camp of the Korean team in cologne, western Germany.
In addition, audio-visual contents will be featured on a large-size flat screen when KTF users transmit them by pushing the five keys, #2006.

RadioScape Again Chosen for Mobile TV Broadcast Systems

RadioScape, a world leader in digital audio and multimedia broadcast and receiver technology, has once again been selected to provide the broadcast technology for another Mobile TV trial. Building on the success seen in the UK of the pilot DAB-IP service of BT Movio, which used RadioScape’s technology, and the joint trial by RTÉ, BT Movio and RadioScape in Dublin, the Centre of Excellence for Digital Broadcasting (CoEfDB) has just implemented a similar service on one of its four RadioScape Multiplexes in the Netherlands.Willem Toerink of CoEfDB said, “RadioScape uses a very stable architecture of Internet Protocol (IP) to control content and internal communication within the multiplex. This has proved to be very reliable and has served us well over the past year on our four RadioScape DAB multiplexes. We are now taking DAB on to its logical next step of delivering Data and Mobile TV reliably to mobile handsets using DAB-IP.”RadioScape has a long established track record of providing DAB broadcasting systems including the world’s largest commercial DAB installation, which is located in the UK. It is also a leading provider of digital radio test equipment and receiver modules. This maturity, experience, and unique end-to-end systems knowledge is positioning RadioScape as the provider of choice for Mobile TV broadcasts based on the proven technology of DMB (Digital Multimedia Broadcasting) using DAB-IP. RadioScape already has over nine DMB installations in major Chinese conurbations and is providing equipment for various trials around the world. This includes the DMB/DAB-IP Mobile TV trial in the UK that was announced on the 5th of June 2006, for which RadioScape is supplying broadcast systems for T-DMB and DAB-IP as well as an L-band COFDM DAB encoder.
