TBSL brings 15 digital entertainment and news channels on GPRS phones (India)In near future Indians will be able to view TV channels on their GPRS-enabled mobile phone.
Time Broadband Services (TBSL), has reportedly announced that it would launch its services in India later this month to provide 15 digital entertainment and news channels on GPRS enabled mobile phones.
“Everything is going digital and everyone is on the move. With this new concept, you do not have to wait to get back home to catch the breaking news. It will be there just a click away from you,” TBSL senior vice president Irfan Khan said.
The channels will be entertainment based for both Bollywood and news based channels, with it’s target growing from 15 to 99 channels.
According to Khan, the company has teamed up with the Film and TV Producers Guild of India for entertainment content, with the Indian Music Industry (IMI) for music content and with Sony Pictures for Hollywood content.
“For news-based content, we are planning to tie up with news agencies like Reuters,” he added.
This service is already launched in Malaysia, Thailand, Indonesia and China.
