Authored by Mark Hefflinger on February 8, 2006 - 4:22am.
Emeryville, Calif. - MobiTV, a developer of technology that delivers live television to mobile phones, announced on Wednesday that it has partnered with IPWireless to jointly develop mobile TV technology that combines MobiTV's "unicast" method with the TDtv "multicasting" technology developed by IPWireless. The multicast technology will alleviate strain on networks unicasting mobile TV in areas where large numbers of phones are accessing the same channel; multicasting allows an infinite number of phones to watch the same channel or use the same network bandwidth. MobiTV and IPWireless will test the delivery MobiTV over TDtv during the first half of 2006, with commercial roll-out of TDtv networks expected by mid-2007. Emeryville, Calif.-based MobiTV currently claims over 500,000 subscribers to its service, which is offered by mobile networks including Sprint and Cingular.
