Zee: bank 2G mobile TV
India’s Zee Television wants mobile TV in India to wait until the government has allocated third-generation spectrum in order to prevent current mobile operators from getting an unfair advantage. In its submission to India’s telecoms regulator Trai, Zee argues that if Trai’s recommendation that mobile operators can launch mobile TV on second-generation networks goes ahead, it would give mobile operators a head-start on broadcasters, who must wait until licences for 3G networks are allocated. There is as yet no timetable for that to happen.
Zee is also unhappy that there is no indication of what content will be allowed on mobile TV and whether mobile companies would be able to launch their own channels (thereby becoming broadcasters, currently not able to be mobile TV operators) or must buy in third-party services.
