SingTel Launches mio TV on Mobile

(Business News & Technology News, 23 May 2008)

Singapore Telecommunications Ltd (SingTel) has launched its mio TV on Mobile service. SingTel is the first operator in Singapore and one of the first in Asia Pacific to launch a mobile TV client with true TV viewing experience on mobile phones.

Launched in July 2007, mio TV has revolutionised the way people watch TV. The new mio TV on Mobile service is said to provide Singtel's customers with yet another convenient medium to expand their viewing options.

"With Singapore's high mobile penetration rate and SingTel's customer base of over 2.5 million mobile users, it makes sense to offer compelling content on our mobile platform so that Singaporeans have access to their favorite mio TV content wherever they may be," says Wong Soon Nam, SingTel's Vice President of Consumer Marketing.

The application currently works on the following Nokia models—N76, N81, N82, N95, N95 8GB, 5700, 6110 Navigator, 6120 Classic, E51 and the N78, which will be available soon, using Nokia Siemens Networks' Mobile TV streaming solution. SingTel is currently in discussions with other mobile handset manufacturers to support the mio TV on Mobile service.
