A cellphone is not just a cellphone anymore – it’s so much more. This is not news to most of us who use our cellphones to surf the internet, download music and generally keep on top of their game. But now convergent technologies are taking things one step further to integrate two of the most successful consumer products in history: the cellphone and television.
DVB-H (Digital Video Broadcast – Handheld) is one of the most recent mobile broadcast technologies, allowing for the live transmission of television channels to a cellphone (via digital terrestrial broadcast). This new technology is so cutting-edge that Namibia, Nigeria, Kenya and Ghana are some of the few countries in Africa to be offering such a service.
As at the time of publishing this post, MTN Nigeria and Globacom Nigeria offers the DSTVMobile service which is been bundled with Nokia 5330. You can visit MTN and Globacom offices for more info about their DSTVMobile service.
Nokia 5330 is just one of the DSTVMobile compatible phones.
I hope this info helps….
