Orange, T-Mobile to pilot 3G mobile TV

Orange and T-Mobile will pilot a 24-channel mobile television service over their 3G network later this year, they announced today.

This shows how the media is developing and expanding by having TV on a mobile. As technology continues to advance, the media will also develop. Mostly everyone, especially teenagers and young adults have mobile phones which have various gadgets and accessories such as cameras, videos, photos, games, Mp3, internet etc. Now by bringing the TV on mobile phones, its almost as though we are carrying the media around with us everywhere we go. In current society today we are more media literate as we consume large amounts of media everyday.

The new system is being trialed in West London by the two large mobile companies who have merged together to create TDtv. Just like our TV's at home, the mobile will be able to broadcast 'Sky' and 'BBC' channels and also 10 digital radio stations.
