Mobile television is television that is seen on a small portable or mobile device. It includes the pay-TV service delivered through mobile telephone networks or received free of charge through terrestrial television stations. Regular broadcast standards or special formats of mobile TV transmission may be used. Additional features include downloading TV shows and podcasts from the Internet and storing the programming for later viewing.
According to the Harvard Business Review, the growing adoption of smartphones allowed users to watch mobile videos in three days of the 2010 Winter Olympics, while watching during the 2008 Summer Olympics, a 564% increase.
The first mobile TV receivers were based on the old analog television signal system. They were the first televisions that could be placed in the pocket of a jacket. The first was the Panasonic IC TV MODEL TR-001, introduced in 1970. The second was sold to the public by Clive Sinclair in January 1977. It was called the Microvision or the MTV-1. It had a two-inch (50 mm) CRT screen and was also the first TV that could pick up signals in several countries. It measured 102 × 159 × 41 mm and was sold for less than £ 100 in the UK and for around $ 400 in the United States. The project took over ten years to develop and was funded by about £ 1.6 million in grants from the British government.
In later decades, the term "mobile television" was associated with mobile phones and other mobile digital devices. Mobile TV is one of the features offered by many 3G phones.
In 2002 South Korea became the first country in the world to have commercial mobile TV over the IS95-C CDMA network, and 3G mobile TV (CDMA2000 1X EVDO) was also available that same year. In 2005, South Korea became the first country in the world to have mobile TV. Started the satellite services DMB (S-DMB) and terrestrial DMB (T-DMB) on May 1 and December 1. Today, South Korea and Japan are at the forefront of this developing sector. Mobile TV services were launched by the CSL operator during March 2006 in Hong Kong on the 3G network. BT in the UK was one of the first companies outside of South Korea to launch mobile TV in September 2006, although the service was abandoned less than a year later. The same happened with MFD Mobiles Fernsehen Deutschland, which launched its DMB-based service in June 2006 in Germany and stopped it in April 2008. Also in June 2006, mobile operator 3 in Italy (part of Hutchison Whampoa) launched its mobile TV service, but against its counterpart in Germany was based on DVB-H. Sprint began offering the service in February 2006 and was the first US carrier to offer the service. In the USA. Verizon Wireless and more recently AT & T are offering the service.
In South Korea, mobile TV is heavily divided into satellite DMB (S-DMB) and terrestrial DMB (T-DMB). Although S-DMB initially had more content, T-DMB has gained a much wider popularity as it is free and is included as a feature on most mobile phones sold in the country today.
