MTN launches Samsung P910 with mobile TV trial

I don't really find this interesting, what I would find interesting is if MTN reduced their call charges by 1/3 - 2/3. Or gave out upcapped unshaped 3G accounts for R 120 p/m.

Watching FTV on my mobile? No thank you.
 
MTNDD: Can I access the tv option using my fastlink 620 data card? If so would I pay for the data or is it free for the trial. Also where do I go to access this service.
 
I don't think they thought this launch through. DVB-H hasn't been much of a success elsewhere. Fashion TV is interesting, but even on the big screen they use a lower resolution than normal.
 
What will the cost be for streaming video on MTN be? if VoIP is R25.00 per MB

How will they charge for DVB-H which is not streaming but broadcast? (all the subscribers must chip in?)

Video will never go through MTN. Think of DVB-H as a mini digital M-NET decoder built into the phone. Your phone talks to a MTN tower for voice & data while listening to a seperate Multichoice tower for DVB-H. The two communications have nothing to do with each other.

Flat monthly fee for DVB-H access, irrespective of what happens on the GSM/3G side.
 
When this trial with CNN and Fashion TV is over, what do you actually pay?

The smart phone for a start. Then a DVB-H sub with Multichoice incl a channel package of some sort. Now is there also a debit from your data bundle to get the 'stream' to your phone?

Yep I assume so, two seperate line items on your invoice (if MTN re-bill for DVB-H service on behalf of Multichoice).
