Authored by Mark Hefflinger on December 8, 2006 - 2:09pm.
Hong Kong - A group of Asian technology and media firms this week announced the formation of the Pan Asian Mobile TV Consortium.

The group, whose members include Toshiba, SK Telecom, Glocal Media and International Mobile Broadcasting, will seek to enable digital multimedia broadcasting for mobile operators in the region. Mobile TV service trials with Asian mobile carriers are expected to begin in early 2007.

"The Pan Asian Mobile TV initiative will open a window of opportunity for the mass in the Asia Pacific region to enjoy a buffet of global contents ubiquitously through their mobile handset. This multilateral, cross-cultural initiative will exemplify the vision of a united Asia," said J.H. Kah, vice president of SK Telecom, which claims 20 million subscribers in Korea.
