ROK TV is offering live and on-demand mobile TV streamed over existing 2.5G and 3G networks as a subscription service on Nokia Eseries phones. Mobile technology and applications development company ROK Entertainment Group has been appointed by Nokia to provide the service. ROK TV is available via the Downloads! service on the Nokia E61i and Nokia E65, initially, which the owner needs to activate to begin watching the services. Two channel packages will be offered, a five-channel Strictly Business package, to be charged in the UK at GBP 5 a month, with a heavy emphasis on business news and information channels, and a ten-channel ROK All TV package, to be charged at GBP 10 a month containing live business news channels as well as additional sports news, music videos and comedy channels. As a trial, both TV packages will be free to view for the first two weeks. ROK TV is available in the UK now and will subsequently deploy into mainland Europe from August onwards.
