3-Channel Smartphone and Tablet TV Platform Launches
TOKYO – A three-channel smartphone and tablet-dedicated HD TV platform NOTTV, launched on April 1, using some of the bandwidth freed by the digital switchover of terrestrial television broadcasts. Operated by mmbi Inc, a joint venture between Japan’s biggest mobile carrier NTT Docomo, the major TV nets, advertising agencies and electronics companies, the service will cost 420 yen ($5) a month. As well as the three channels of drama, films, music, variety, news and sports shows, NOTTV will offer downloading of videos, apps, ebooks, games and other data to devices without using the phone network. Utilizing the newly available bandwidth will take some of the strain off Docomo’s cellular network, which along with that of rival au, has suffered from overload due to the increase in data traffic that has accompanied the spread of smartphones.
NOTTV – that’s the name of a new mobile TV channel that could one day replace 1Seg , the current TV and broadcasting standard for Japanese cell phones. Japan’s biggest mobile carrier NTT Docomo , the country’s biggest ad agency Dentsu, and a handful of private-sector broadcasters are planning to launch NOTTV on April 1 this year. What’s interesting is that picture quality will be significantly better than with 1Seg and that NOTTV will be available exclusively for Android smartphones and tablets. The service consists of three different channels showing content such as news, sports events, TV series, etc. – 24 hours a day.
